Nollaig Hona Guit--Merry Christmas to you in Irish I was attending a small Christmas party with fellow Irish speakers, when during the feastivities a seanahie (storyteller)read An Irish night before Christmas. He brought back my youth in Ireland with Father Christmas. He read the story as if we were youngsters again, showing us the pictures on each page. We slowly formed a storytelling circle and enjoyed every word and picture. This book is for all who want to relive their youth at the most childish time of the year. If you pass on this book you will be forever in the dark about Father Christmas (Santa Claus)in Ireland.
Irish twist on a classic! We love this book. We always enjoy changing the words to familiar songs and rhymes, and this book does just that! A must have for anyone who loves being Irish!
An Irish Night Before Christmas How sweet! Let's portray Santa as a drunken Irish fool who totally bumbles Christmas.
It is derogatory, inflammatory and a total slam of insults to an entire culture of people. To portray the Irish as drunken bums and elvish creatures with no brains.
As a full blood Irish, I take personal offense to the book and it's portrayal of subject matter. Maybe this author needs to take another look at the Irish Culture, and find out what we are REALLY like. She might just get a wee bit of a shock.
A Wee Bit of the Irish for Christmas I bought this book for my daughter Bridget and it is a great read. A very nice take on the classic. Whether you are of Irish heritage or not... all will enjoy. It is quite humorous for adults and children alike. I enjoy reading this to my daughter around Christmas time and of course on Christmas Eve. As the Irish say, "Tis good craic(fun)"! We love it!
Break out the Brogue!! If you can muster up a good Irish brogue and delight in the Irish folklore, you and your Irish friends & family will truly enjoy this book at Christmas time. A silly account of those troublesome Irish elves trying to help out Father Christmas. Enjoy! Nollaig Sona Agut!
