Santa had a few words to pass on to all the boys and girls of Dublin; “I’m looking forward to meeting all of you this Christmas and to see how much you’ve grown since last year. However, most important is that you’ve been good children and nice to all your friends and family because you know I’ll be making a list and checking it twice to find out who’s been naughty or nice!”

And why not finish your trip to the store with a visit to the Christmas Shop on the Lower Ground Floor, which has a spectacular array of decorations, festive fair and gift ideas. For those keen shoppers Clerys is now open every Sunday from 12 – 6.00pm and late night Fridays until 8pm in addition to extended opening hours from Monday 12^th of December, giving shoppers plenty of time to find that perfect Christmas present.
