A to Z of an Irish Christmas by Sarah Cassidy & Kunak McGann


Everything you don't want foreigners to know about how we celebrate Christmas in Ireland. We can't be doing with Calling Birds, French Hens or Partridges in Pear Trees: but if it's Annuals, The Dinner, The Big Shop or The Wexford Carol you're looking for, you've come to the right book!

Christmas Party, The
/kris-muss par-tee, thuh/
proper noun. annual knees-up
The one night of the year when employees get to tell their boss exactly how they feel as they strut their stuff on the dancefloor. There's nothing quite like scrolling through jobs.ie while nursing the hangover from hell.


This pocket sized book has everything you need to know to survive an Irish Christmas. Featuring entries as diverse as Dustin the Turkey and turkey tray - wait, no. As diverse as lights and trees - hang on - as diverse as holly and mistletoe - oops...well, take it from me, there's plenty of entries on every aspect of the Christmas season.

I loved reading this, and I only had to look up one thing, so I'm calling that a win. I may also have sniggered on basically every page. (Also I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life. Is that bad?)

This is the perfect gift to send to anyone away from Ireland this Christmas, especially THIS Christmas. It's the perfect touch of home and it'll make them laugh, too. What's not to love?
