As Santa finalises his list children in Cork make sure he knows exactly what they want for Christmas.

Children visiting Santa Claus in Cork are eager to tell him what they want for Christmas. A little girl called Sarah would like a teddy bear. Another girl is very detailed in her request for a bicycle and a basket
Dolls are proving popular with one girl hoping for Aladdin and Jasmine and another seeking a Cherry doll.

Bucking this trend, one of the girls tells Santa she would like a Doctor Dreadful game and two garages. Elaine is less specific and would just like a surprise. A boy is hoping for a dumper truck and another would like a Big Mega Dome for Christmas.

One of the children lets Santa know that she will be leaving out a red apple for his reindeer on Christmas Eve.

Rudolph will be delighted with you altogether.

One girl is quite happy to sit on Santa's knee and sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. But not all children are so at ease. In spite of being restrained by his siblings, one little boy refuses to go near Santa Claus. With years of experience behind him, Santa knows this child will never sit on his lap,

Not a hope, not a hope.
