Christmas will be here before we know it and there's one major task on our to-do list - the famous Santa letter.
It's one of the oldest Christmas traditions, but when should kids in Ireland send their letters to Santa?
We've enlisted the help of An Post who have all the information when it comes to Christmas letters.
Santa's elves in An Post shared, "Kids can send them as early as they like, and the earlier the better so as to give Santa and the elves plenty of time to get organised. It’s such a busy time in Santa’s workshop and the North Pole in general."
Children should address letters to Santa Claus, North Pole. "Don’t forget to include their name and full postal address in their very best writing, to seal the envelope and pop on a stamp (a national stamp will do just fine)."
Include your sender details in very neat writing in the top left corner of the front of the envelope.
The elves in Santa’s Post Office ask that all letters be posted as soon as possible. Santa needs to have time to read all the letters and to reply to as many as possible. He posts all his replies a few days before Christmas, An Post revealed.
