All children in Co. Kildare are encouraged to go to bed early tonight
Santa is due to arrive in Co. Kildare at approximately 11.45pm/12am.
He has already delivered millions of gifts to children living in countries such as New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
You can track Santa on his journey on the NORAD Tracker.
We all have our own traditions at Christmas time.
But a trip across the world paints a very different picture of the festive season.
In Italy on the 5th of January - children get a visit from 'Befana' who is a witch on a broomstick.
Befana flies through the night and delivers presents just like Santa.
The witches are treated differently in Norway however.
Norwegians hide their brooms from witches so they're not stolen.
What about Japan? The Asian country have a tradition of eating KFC on the big day.
While in Sweden, the nation is addressed by the a popular figure every Christmas Eve, Donald Duck.
A nice fire cracker wakes you up on Christmas morning in Venezuela.
That's closely followed by roller skating your way to mass.
These people describe what their Christmas Eve traditions are:
