Last night.

Queen’s Rd, Dún Laoghaire, county Dublin.

Gift-wishing tyke Christian Doyle (above) getting his letter off to Santa at an official Santa Post Box placed outside the Lexicon library. Santa (top) insists there is no need for a stamp but adds: “Make sure to include an address so I can reply to every single one”.

Apart from dlr LexIcon, Santa Post Boxes are in place at Marlay Park in Rathfarnham, Deerpark in Mount Merrion and Cabinteely Park.

Or simply put them up the chimney.
