Christmas Traditions Week 2

Going to see Santa Claus

This was a new tradition for us this year
apart from going to see Santa as a child
this was the first time we have been back
It was such a wonderful thing when on
Sunday morning we brought Oisín to
see Santa Claus for the first time
He loved the toy work shop he got to
play in before Santa
He wasn't so sure of Santa at first
but then he came around and sat on his knee

Visiting a Christmas market

This is a not so new tradition
we started this three years ago at
the Christmas markets in New York
this year we went to a new
one at St Stephen's Green
it was good fun
We drank mulled wine
and ate pulled pork!

Going into Dublin City Centre to
see the Christmas Lights

This has always been a
tradition in my family
but as I got older I forgot
about it and never made a huge
effort to go see the lights in town
this year was different we
wanted Oisín to see it
He face was a picture when he
woke from his nap in his pram
to realise it had got dark and
there was lights all around him!
