Have you ever wondered how Santa gets around the world in one night delivering all those toys to kids across the globe, snacking on biscuits and cakes in every house and yet is still able to get down the chimney?
If you have a chimney, that is. If your home doesn’t have one, how does Santa get in to leave presents for you and the rest of your siblings?
And what about the reindeer? What happens if Rudolph comes down with a cold or a bad tummy bug and can’t guide the sleigh on Christmas Eve?
What happens if Santa overindulges on the hot chocolates and cookies laid out in front of the fire?
And what about the rest of the year? If Santa works all during the winter preparing toys in his workshops in the north pole, what does he do during the summer and where does he go on his holidays?
There are just so many questions to be answered. Curious kids should know that The Irish Times has gained an exclusive interview with Mr Santa Claus and wants the children of Ireland to send in the questions they’d like to ask him via email or leave a voice note.
Then on a special Christmas podcast, journalist Conor Pope will put as many of your questions to him as he can in the time slot he has been given – Santa is a very busy man.
The closing date for entries is Wednesday, December 6th at 6pm. Email your letters and/or attach voice notes to santapodcast@irishtimes.com
You can listen and read the answers on Tuesday, December 12th on irishtimes.com
