Christmas in Ireland is a season filled with traditions, as it is in other parts of the world. There's plenty of customs still practiced in Ireland that stem from long ago. Plenty of homes in Ireland still today will show a lighted candle, or an electric light, in the window of their home on Christmas Eve. This stems from the custom that to show a light in the window lighted the way of a stranger out after dark. It goes back to most ancient times, when the laws of hospitality were stronger & not abused. To have a light in your window on Christmas Eve to welcome the stranger meant that you were welcoming the Holy Relatives . To have no light meant that you shared the guilt of the Innkeeper at Bethlehem who said, "No Room"! view Irish Christmas ornaments.
Here are a number of our new Irish fabreche santas & Irish Christmas ornaments for the 2009 Christmas holiday season. Order soon to insure early Christmas delivery. They hope to add new Irish gifts often, so keep checking back!
