Cositas que estoy aprendiendo de las Navidades en Irlanda. En general por lo que me comentan, no hacen cena de Nochebuena. Y la comida de Navidad suele ser o pavo con patatas asadas, cebolla, gravy, salsa de arándanos y coles de bruselas, que de hecho es lo que comimos ayer, o pata de jamón, que me dijeron que vendría a ser tipo lacón. Y una canción muy típica para ellos en esta época es Fairytale in New York. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8

#mastodaoine I’ve been out all day and realised it is only just after 9:30. What aSt Patrick’s Eve. #IrishChristmas tomorrow

From the 2021 #TCD #FestiveHub seasonal video series, Eoin Mac Cárthaigh, Department of Irish and Celtic Studies reads 'Dia do bheath', a 17th century Christmas poem in Irish by Aodh Mac Aingil.

The full text #DIAS is here: https://bardic.celt.dias.ie/displayPoem.php?firstLineID=678

It's very similar to this (with English translation), said to be first recorded in Douglas Hyde’s “The Religious Songs of Connacht" (with audio recording).

Season's Greeting - Eoin Mac Cárthaigh

"Dia do bheatha" on YouTube https://youtu.be/nzkmgd28yYw

This #Christmas carol is attributed to Aodh Mac Aingil (1571-1626), a theologian and philosopher who worked in the #IrishColleges in Leuvan and Rome, most importantly on the philosophy of #DunsScotus. A proficient poet, he may have studied first at a bardic school.

Not going to lie I only listen to Ronan Collins once a year on Christmas Eve while doing the prep for dinner on Christmas Day. I miss him. I hope he enjoys his (semi) retirement. Off to find a rendition of O Holy Night he’s approve of.

The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland was formed in 1964 to preserve steam locomotives and carriages and to run them on the Irish main lines.

8th December is traditionally the day when country people headed to Dublin to start the Christmas shopping (aka #CulchieDay )

No Messin’ is a superb bakery based in #Dublin7 and today they sent me a sample of their mince pies.
I’ve bought these mince pies several times in the past, and I’ll be doing so again this year, as they really are the best around.
No Messin mince pies will be available at Proper Order Coffee Smithfield from Sat 26th and pre-orders open December 1st. Oh, and the brandy butter, made with Highbank apple brandy) is also rather good.
