The elves are getting very busy and things are really heating up in their workshop. Don’t worry though, it’s still cold outside and there’s plenty of snow up here in the North Pole. It’s a bit of a relief for me to see them getting busy. When those elves have time on their hands they get up to all sorts of mischief playing tricks on me and poor Mrs Claus. In fact, last week, Halloween in the North Pole involved more tricks than treats!
How about you? Did you go trick or treating? I’m sure you had lots of fun.

Now, that Halloween is over there’s only one big day to think about…25th December.
I bet a lot of you are busy making your Christmas wish lists and deciding on what you would like for Christmas. My good old friend, the Red Robin has been telling me he has seen some of you looking through the toy catalogues to help you make your decisions. He even said he saw some of you writing your letters. I cannot wait to read them. It’s one of my favourite jobs to do at Christmas. I’ve even got a few letters already, it was a lovely surprise.

Only a few weeks to go until I see you all for your Santa experience in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. I really cannot wait to see you all and to visit Enniscorthy Castle again this year. I had so much fun last year and Mrs Claus is still talking about how much she enjoyed meeting you all in her Traditional Sweet Shop.

I hear some of you are making a weekend of it and have booked your santa visit as part of the Hotel’s Sleepover Packages. What a wonderful idea !
I look forward to hearing all about the Hotel that you are staying in when I meet you in the Castle. Mrs Claus and I are always looking for Hotel recommendations for a little break in January when things are a bit quieter. I must ask Digital Elf to have a look on

Sleep Over

and book one of those lovely hotels in Wexford.

See you all soon and keep an eye out for my friend, the Red Robin,

Santa, Ho Ho Ho

We are getting busy up here in the North Pole. Our summer days of rest and relaxation are a distant memory. Much like you too, as I know some of you have all been very busy in your new classes in school. I’ve had a little word with some of your teachers and I was delighted to hear you are working
very hard at school and being kind to all your friends. And what about the boys and girls that started in preschool or big school this year? I am so proud of how grown up you have become. You are learning so much everyday. Well done! I promised your teachers I would check in again soon to see if everyone is keeping up the good work.

In my last letter I mentioned some very special evenings that are taking place in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford that I am really looking forward to. I am going to be meeting some very special children on our Sensitive Santa Tour. I know that some of you can find loud noises, big crowds and
unexpected surprises a little bit overwhelming. I don’t blame you to be honest. At my age I feel exactly the same! That is why we have a very special evening planned for you. I hear it’s going to be the best Santa experience for children with special needs that Wexford has ever seen. It has been developed especially for children with ASD and sensory processing needs and their families. We’ll leave the hustle and bustle that Christmas can sometimes bring behind.

You and your family will be able to come to Enniscorthy Castle and meet me in a relaxed and calm environment – just the way Mrs Claus and I like it. The evening will begin with a Social Story to help you to understand all the wonderful things you are going to be seeing and doing during your tour. You and your family will then be able to explore all the magical experiences that Santa’s Enchanted Castle has to offer, including some of my favourites, like Willy Wonka’s delicious Chocolate Factory and of course Mrs Claus’ Sweet Shop where you will be able to use your magic coins. I even heard some of the Paw Patrol puppies are taking some time off from their busy rescue work to meet you all.

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon,

Santa, Ho Ho Ho

To the blog I have created to tell you all my stories and adventures right here in Enniscorthy Castle!

We are very busy at the moment getting everything together so my busy little Elves can do all their work to make the rest of the toys for Christmas. Mrs Claus is busy in the kitchen making some very yummy gingerbread men for us all to eat. Mind you she might need help decorating so many of them for everyone to enjoy.

I am very much looking forward to you visiting us all here in the castle. You might come across a grumpy little man counting money but I bet if you tell him a joke you can make him laugh along too. Hohoho!

Uh oh there was a a big crash in the Elve’s workshop. They are setting up some of the machines from the North Pole. I better go investigate and use a bit of magic to fix it. Then feed my reindeer up on the roof as they have been travelling quite a bit from the North Pole.

I hope you enjoy the site and keep popping by for my stories and pictures over the next few months.

Remember to stay on my good list! Ho Ho Hoooo!
