Christmas season

The Christmas season is in full swing here in Dublin. There are Christmas decorations on the streets and in the malls. The shopping centres are quite decorated. The one we went to today had a Santa thing that looked pretty realistic and went up and down rope. He was carrying a sack of toys that many were falling out of. There was also a display of 3 Santa helpers (figurine things) that were life sized and pretending to play instruments. There wasn't any music coming from the display, though. Just the sound of motors making the things move.
