Christmas is all around

Since Michael Buble switched on Xmas lights in Grafton Street, we at the Plaza have been in a very Xmassy mood. We just cannot wait for Ray, our Maintenance Manager, to put a Xmas Tree in the lobby.


And it is not only Xmas all around, there are Santas everywhere!

We were recently discussing why the Santa is a middle aged, grey haired man with weight problems, wearing red clothes. Unfortunately we couldn't find the answer. If somebody knows - please let us know.

So far we are going to see Santa in his Grotto at the Tallaght Square Shopping Centre - he will be there until 24th of December.


And don't miss Santa's Magical Forest of Dreams - Ireland's biggest indoor Christmas themed family event, when it visits Tallaght. See Tinkerbell light up the tallest Christmas tree; help Little Red Riding Hood deliver her presents to Grandma and send  your letter to Santa  through the wonderful magical post office. 
Walk through the North Pole Slide down the GIANT ice slide, visit the Elves Workshop, see Santa come down the chimney and visit Rudolph and friends at the reindeer farm. Be careful not to waken Wee Willie Winkie and help to chase away the Silly Billy Big Bad Wolf! 


Not enough Santas? 


Dublin Zoo has one too! 


Ho ho ho!

Jedward in Tallaght

Some love them, some loathe them, but these two blond twins are easily recognizable by everybody.

John and Edward became famous by taking part in the 6th series of The X Factor where they managed to survive 7 weeks. Simon Cowell's first impression was that "they are not very good and incredibly annoying" and the truth is that the boys cannot really dance or sing. But obviously it is not the most important thing in show business.

Cool twins managed to represent Ireland in Eurovision Song Contest and take part in Celebrity Big Brother.

They will perform in Tallaght Basketball Arena on the 20th of November so do not wait, buy the tickets to see Jedward live. And after the concert share your opinion with us.
