Christmas in Ireland, Colin Morrison

From the book cover: Christmas in Ireland is a feast of stories and poems by some of Ireland’s best known writers including John B. Keene, Michael O’Siadhail, Eamon Kelly, Pat Ingoldsby, Seamus Heaney, Hugh Leonard, Breandán Ó hEithir, Val Mulkerns, Brendan Kennelly, Byran MacMahon and Clare Boylan. In Christmas in Ireland we join with them in remembering the Christmases of long ago when the world was young and we were happy sitting by our own firesides. We are able to cast our minds back to Bethlehem as we experience once again ‘All the Little lights winking and blinking through the dark, until, as the man said, the earth below seemed like a reflection of the starry heavens above?’
