Christmas is celebrated in Ireland.

In Ireland, Christmas lasts for a long time. Cards and holiday decorations are sold in stores from October, and all Christmas decorations will not be removed until January 6th. The unique customs make Irish Christmas full of warm and alert atmosphere.

Lighting: On Christmas Eve, Irish people will light candles in the window. Of course, nowadays, electric lights are mostly used instead, which means that people in the house welcome the arrival of the holy family (Yue Se, the Virgin Mary and the infant), and at the same time, it is also for guiding the people who hurry home. The bright lights add a little warmth to the happy Christmas Eve.

Raisin pudding is a traditional Christmas food in Ireland. Most housewives will make it themselves. They will make three puddings: one for Christmas, one for New Year, and one for twelfth night (January 6th). After Christmas dinner, bread and milk will be left on the dining table with the door unlocked, which is a symbol of hospitality.
