Father Christmas of Ireland became my favorite as soon as I saw him. His long red cloak with colorful bag of Christmas gifts, his crown of stars and grass made him a Rockstar of Santas for me. Here is the picture of the day:
Christmas in Ireland lasts from Christmas Eve until the feast of the Epiphany on January 6, which is also referred to as little Christmas. Ireland’s holiday celebration is more religious in nature than a time of fun.
Children honor Father Christmas on December 26 as they parade through the streets donned in extravagant dress straw. Known as the Wren Boy’s Procession, the children go door to door singing for money for the captured wren.
