IT was a strange feeling around CH Chemists in the warm autumn sunshine on Saturday afternoon, as the staff donned Santa hats and Christmas music played from their PA system.

It was all to launch their Santaland experience which begins on November 28 and who did they get to kick things off?

Well only the man himself, Santa Claus! The curtain in the shop window was pulled back to reveal the man in the big red suit and his trusty sidekick, Elfie as the crowd of young children gasped in excitement.

The duo reminded kids to be very good and showed them some goodies they might receive once they stayed off the naughty list.

Then they were off, back to the North Pole, but not before posing for photos and meeting young fans.

CH Chemists’ Santaland experience is always a huge attraction in town and this year promises to be no different with the fun starting on November 28 and continuing on selected dates until Christmas Eve.

They are taking bookings now so click here on www.chtralee.com/santaland to find out more.
