PICTURES: 15 images as Crossmaglen lights up for Christmas

Santa Claus has arrived in Crossmaglen and has lit up the village’s Christmas tree.

There was a great atmosphere as Santa, aided by Sonny Hanratty and his grandad Jim, pressed the big red button to get the party started.

The Grinch and some of Santa’s elves were also in attendance spreading Christmas cheer!

Here’s some photos from the big night, courtesy of Liz Boyle.
