Christmas Activities

4 December, 2019
Posted in: Dublin, Ireland

We had the church Christmas fair after mass on Sunday. It was an occasion of almost unmitigated grimness. Freezing and poorly attended. I did hear one good story though. There’s a local man whom we will call Mr. Murphy who is Santa every year at community events. One of Santa’s neighours was saying how he took his three children in to see Santa at such an event and his two eldest children (then aged 3 and 5) went in and appeared entranced. The father decided that the youngest (aged 2) was too small for the treat whereupon the child began to wail, “Why can’t I go in to see Pat Murphy like the others?” Ho, ho, ho!

    I love that the daily blogging continues! In order to help you keep up the streak, I’ll mention that your children may be expecting St. Nicholas to visit Thursday night, and I look forward to hearing if he does.

    I’m not sure it’s going to continue much longer…but you will be relieved to hear that the children are confidently expecting Saint Nicolas.
