Many of these customs have their own root in the time when the Gaelic culture and religion of the country were being supressed and it is perhaps because of that they have survived into modern times.
 
 The Candle in the window

The placing of a lighted candle in the window of a house on Christmas eve is still practised today. It has a number of purposes but primarily it was a symbol of welcome to Mary and Joseph as they travelled looking for shelter.
  The candle also indicated a safe place for priests to perform mass as, during Penal Times this was not allowed.

 The Laden Table

After evening meal on Christmas eve the kitchen table was again set and on it were placed a loaf of bread filled with caraway seeds and raisins, a pitcher of milk and a large lit candle. The door to the house was left unlatched so that Mary and Joseph, or any wandering traveller, could avail of the welcome.

 Decorations
 
The placing of aring of Holly on doors originated in Ireland as Holly was one of the main plants that flourished at Christmas tie and which gave the poor ample means with which to decorate their dwellings.
 
All decorations are traditionally taken down on Little Christmas (January 6th) and it is considered to be bad luck to take them down beforehand. ]]> 2017-09-19 17:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/189024516 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/266894171 SING a song!]]> 2018-06-12 20:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/266894171 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/266894859 Rudolph, la renna dal naso rosso]]> 2018-06-12 20:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/266894859 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267001050 2018-06-13 12:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267001050 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267001460 2018-06-13 12:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267001460 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267004318 Some Christmas words]]> 2018-06-13 12:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267004318 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267074411 CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND]]> 2018-06-13 18:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267074411 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267074499 2018-06-13 18:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267074499 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267075865 2018-06-13 19:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267075865 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267077520 2018-06-13 19:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267077520 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267191824 CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA]]> 2018-06-14 12:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267191824 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192052 A BOOKLET]]> 2018-06-14 12:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192052 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192452 SNOWFLAKES' WALTZ]]> 2018-06-14 12:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192452 anessy24 https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192900 2018-06-14 12:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anessy24/vkpclxunu83s/wish/267192900
