Christmas in Ireland

 IRISH CAROL

CHRISTMAS IN KELLARNEY

Christmas In Killarney      Traditional Irish Song

CHORUS           The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you've ever seen               

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau

While cuddling under the mistletoe

And Santa Claus you know, of course

Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open

The neighbors pay a call

And Father John before he's gone

Will bless the house and all

Our Hearts are light, our spirits bright

We'll celebrate our joy tonight

It´s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

REPEAT CHORUS  The holly green, the ivy green…

We'll decorate the Christmas tree

When all the family's here

Around a roaring fire

We will raise a cup of cheer

There's gifts to bring, And songs to sing

And laughs to make the rafters ring

It´s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

REPEAT CHORUS  The holly green, the ivy green…

We'll take the horse and sleigh all

Across the fields of snow

Listening to the jingle bells

Everywhere we go

How grand it feels to click your heels

And dance away to the jigs and reels 

It's Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

REPEAT CHORUS  The holly green, the ivy green…

A CULTURAL INSIGHT OF CHRISTMAS IN UK.

 

 

   All through December people get ready for Christmas by listening to Christmas pop songs on the radio and opening their advent calendars. These are calendars made from card with a door that you open for each day of December. Some have a picture inside, and others have chocolate!

    In schools children typically do a nativity play. People decorate their houses with Christmas trees, holly, mistletoe and lights.

   In the UK, Father Christmas comes on the 24^th of December (Christmas Eve). People put up their stockings on the fireplace or next to their beds. 

   On the 25^th of December, (Christmas Day), the children wake up and open their presents from Father Christmas. 

   When everyone is at the table, people pull Christmas Crackers, tubes made of cardboard that have a paper hat, a little toy, and a joke inside. 

Christmas dinner

    On Christmas day British people eat Christmas Dinner around 2 o’clock in the afternoon. This is composed of Turkey or Chicken, and lots of roast vegetables!  It is accompanied with stuffing, and a very delicious sauce called gravy!

In the evening on Christmas Day, people only eat some cheese and crackers, with pickled onions.

Christmas pudding and Christmas cake are typical desserts at Christmas.

Mince pies is probably the most important sweet food that people eat at Christmas. These are pastry with mince meat inside, it’s not real meat, it’s just dried fruits and syrup.
