It's a big day for children across the country as Santa is set to deliver presents to Ireland's boys and girls. He's nearly here, and he has already started leaving presents for children in other parts of the world.

Every year, Norad reports Santa's location on Christmas Eve to millions of families across the world who watch eagerly as Santa nears their home.
