Christmas in Ireland is a little bit different
from Spain. In my Irish house there are a lot of decorations in the house. They
have two pines with all kind of decorations like baubles, canes, snowmen, Santa
Claus, stars... but they don’t have a crib. Irish people don’t usually put up the
crib. They celebrate Christmas day on the 25 of December with a big
lunch-dinner. The main course is turkey and the dessert are minced pies. On the
24 of december they don’t do anything special. Some people go the church but
nothing more. During the night they give the presents or they leave the
presents for the children and they open them the next day. On the 26 of December
they´ll celebrate St Stevens day and you might say to me: what’s that? Well,
St. Stevens day is the day that people meet with their friends and they go out
for drinking and chatting. The pubs that day are crowded with people. At new
years eve, they have a special dinner but it isn’t a big dinner and later they
go out with the family or with friends.
Irish people don’t celebrate the kings so for
them Christmas finishs by New Year day. In fact the winter sales starts on
27-28 of december. One more thing the fool day isn’t on 28 of December like in
Spain they celebrate that day on the first day of April.
Happy New Year and I hope that you have a good one.
