SANTA’S “IN GOOD shape” heading into his final, busy week before Christmas.
That’s the word from weatherman Gerald Fleming, who popped in yesterday to give us an update on what sort of conditions we can expect heading into the big day.
And while he had some bad news for grown-ups and children alike who might have been hoping for a white Christmas here — Fleming says there’s no shortage of snow and ice up at the North Pole.
“Pretty chilly,” is how the Met Éireann man described it.
In fact…
I hear the elves had to get an extra helping of hot chocolate because of the cold — to kind of get them going.
On to the important stuff…
Will Santa have a clear run to Ireland next Wednesday night — Christmas Eve?
“There’s a possibility of a bit of a blizzard happening up there — maybe about next Tuesday.
We’re keeping an eye on that — but we think it might blow over by the time it gets to Christmas Eve.
Only five sleeps to go.
Let’s all try and stay off the naughty list.

I’m sure all the children who read the journal will be delighted with this story.
Less so with your patronising comment..
Actually I have a none year old nephew who reads the journal.
Mensa might like to speak to him
The none year old must be so proud of his uncle!
Glen was speaking in a D4 accent.
Mickey mouse should do a weekly complication of the journals best bits, get the kids trolling earlier
They should also do a compilation… Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Nuncle!
There’s no such thing as Santa kids.
None year old lol . Nine year old
Well spotted Gwen.
In Important news, The Water Charges Cleared the Seanad Vote last night thanks to 4 Independent Senators. Feargal Quinn, Jillian van Turnhout, Marie Louise O’Donnell and Fiach Mac Conghail.
Oh for the love…. can’t we go 5 mins without a water charges comment?!
Go back to sleep you bore.
Put them on the naughty list
@robby Troll Much? If you are not interested in knowing who passed this Bill – then shut up and pay up.
Vincent made it clear to Marie Louise last night that If she doesn’t watch out, Santa may bypass her house
Is enda Kenny really to blame for this
Yes Enda is the Snake who withered his way in with Lies and now pushed one of the worst things onto the Irish people. And most Irish people cant see what he is doing, Irish Water will be sold within 10 years, and if you dont believe me your a fool.
Some of the old wives tales seem to be more accurate that some of the met office predictions, with months ahead predictions seeming to be on the spot?
So snow for the end of December???
have your say
