How long do they celebrate Christmas in Ireland?

Answer 1

Christmas in Ireland is celebrated by spending time with family and exchanging presents. People visit each other over the Christmas period. Homes are well decorated, with some having major displays of lights outside. Villages, towns and cities are well decorated too. There is lots of shopping done in the run up to Christmas and so the towns and cities are busy with people. There is a lot of people out doing other things, like carol singing. Lots of people will have Christmas parties with colleagues or friends. On Christmas Day, people will have Christmas dinner. Turkey and ham is a traditional meal, but some people will have other things.
