Christmas in Ireland

In Ireland Santa comes on Christmas Eve and leaves presents for the Children.

The Children hang their socks at the end of their beds or on the fireplace on Christmas Eve and Santa puts presents in them.

At Christmas we hang Holly Wreaths on our Front Doors.

We put a Christmas Tree in our homes and decorate it with lights and tinsel.

We eat Turkey and Ham for our Dinner on Christmas Day. We also eat Cake, Pudding and Mince Pies.

Everyone puts a crib in their homes and there is a large one in the church.

Carols are sung in all the Churches at Christmas and the school has a concert of Christmas Carols and a Nativity Play

This is the cover of the Programme for our Carol Service and Nativity Play.
