Christmas 2022

Christmas Eve when kids in bed we put on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and have Jawbox Gin, Ginger Ale and Honeycomb. Christmas morning Sinead and I wake up early and exchange our own gifts, then I get my Christmas morning training session in. When Kids wake, I (Dad, my own Dad did this in my house) always goes downstairs first to make sure Santa has been and gone. We then have both families over for Dinner and a day of fun. (Ryan Rocks) We Climb Mount Errigal beside every year at Christmas some time if weather lets us. Meeting for church on Christmas morning and going to each other houses for dinner. No arguing. Mixing the puddings. Swim on Chritmas day. Family time get-together / eat drink and be merry. It is the only time of year all the family go to mass and then to the pub after mass on Christmas eve. Family fry-up after mass on Christmas Eve. Santa presents Christmas morning - kids’ reactions are everything!

Climb a mountain Mass on Christmas Eve with the family Giving food hampers to all the senior citizens in our local town. Typical Christmas tradition in the Philippines is gathering of the whole clan. We normally celebrate it on Christmas eve and we have games for the kids, exchange gift, lots of food and drinks. (Jerrick) (10/10 cheese) - When my wife and I put up the Christmas tree every year we ALWAYS put Elf (w/ Will Ferrell) on the TV, the lights always go and first and before we switch them on she closes her eyes, counts to 3 & blows on the tree as if switching the lights on....something that she has done since a child which we now like to do together as tradition :) Baking cakes & puds together. Go to the pub on xmas eve. All the family coming home for Christmas dinner. There’s not a present to be opened until all of my family are up and in the living room and this also goes for our 5 dogs , we wouldn’t want them to miss out!! (Lauren O’Shea) Cant beat a well iced Baileys on Christmas morning with the whole family after mass. Christmas Eve board game nights! (Peter J)
