    With the most magical night of the year just a few weeks away, thecity.ie hit the streets of Dublin to chat to locals about what Santa will be delivering to their homes this Christmas.

    Children as young as eight are asking Santa for expensive hi-tech toys, such as I-Pads, I-Phones and I-Pods.

    Other hi-tech requests to Santa include the third installment of the ever evolving DS – the 3DS.

    Lego continues to trend Christmas wishlists, alongside the tried and trusted board games.

    For younger children, traditional toys such as dolls and prams remain popular for the girls, while Transformers and Scalextric are topping the boys lists.

    The City crew hit Grafton Street to capture the atmosphere at the Christmas Lights ceremony. Singer Brian Kennedy, along with the ugly sisters from the Gaiety Panto ‘Cinderella’ switched on the lights, marking the start of the Christmas season for the hundreds of spectators.

    The Hallelujah Gospel Choir kept the crowds entertained with some Christmas classics that had the whole of Grafton Street singing and dancing along. While spirits were high we thought it was the perfect opportunity to find out what people are most looking forward to this Christmas.
