I'd love to find one that has the year painted in the grotto...

When we were kids we got santa photo every year and the photos always had the year in them. Have yet to see this in galway.

We have being going to the one in the Eyre St shopping centre... the Santa in there is very convincing (looking + voice), you'd do a double take to check if it is the real santa yourself .... he gives each kid few mintes asking them what they what etc.... worth it, but I just wish the had the year painted up.

I'm also looking for somewhere that will also give you a digital copy of the photo.

Bring your own digital camera and then Photoshop in the year.

In seriousness, I've yet to see one that uses digital cameras.
