So tonight I went to a Christmas party and after a few wines I thought NOT to post LOTS of pictures ... so I am going easy tonight!
Christmas Eve 2007 we went to Ireland. So many things are different there at the holidays. For one the WHOLE country basically shuts down for over a week, hotels, gas stations, restaurants, everything! So make sure to have some sandwiches packed and plenty of Petro.
AND everyone takes a dip in the Irish sea on Christmas day ... the pics are blurring due to chill but you still have to see them!!
We flew into Shannon and I loved their "elaborate" Christmas display, I have enclosed a picture (you have to click on the picture for a close up)... lets not even talk about the music. BUT I thought it was most likely a display as our folks would have seen in 1940. Also in Ireland they never say MERRY Christmas, it is always HAPPY Christmas.
So before I mess this all up due to Christmas party wine I will keep it short!
Thanks for staying with me in this rough start!! I LUV IT!

Um, no, you wouldn't find me jumping in the Irish Sea in December. Nice pix though. :-)
I love your sharing your irish christmas with us! I always wanted to go to Great Britain!
Are they the Polar Bears? It's an organization where (usually) old people go for a swim in the freezing ocean during New Year's Day.
It's like a tradition here in NYC.
Happy Christmas! Not sure if I would take the dip though! ;) Hubby and I are headed to Ireland in May!! Would love to be there for Christmas!
