1. Begging your Mam for a few pounds and buying these in school
2. Downing a hot whiskey any time you so much as sneeze
The ultimate cure for any and all ailments.
3. Leaving a can of Guinness out for Santy on Christmas Eve
Sure, he’ll be parched from all that traveling.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
4. Calling Santa Claus ‘Santy’ as if he’s just one of the lads
Ireland and Santy have a very special relationship, you see.
5. Getting a Selection Box from your Mam regardless of whether you’re 7 years old or 31 years old
6. Ringing in Christmas with a television show about priests getting lost in a lingerie department
It’s what Jesus would have wanted.
7. Buying the RTÉ Guide and spending a good hour circling all the films you want to watch
8. ‘THIS IS NO AWDINARY PANTO’
IT’S THE GAIETY PANTO!
9. Opening a tin of Roses and *not* finding a sewing kit inside
The only time of the year that doesn’t happen!
10. Buying a massive box of ‘Christmas Tayto’ and digging into them over the festive period
SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CRISPMAS TIME!
(Sorry.)
11. Sneakily horsing into the second layer of USA Biscuits
Nobody will notice.
*takes 8 biscuits*
12. Being forced to go to mass on Christmas Eve to ‘get it out of the way’
That’s the spirit!
13. And having Midnight Mass at the much more practical hour of 9pm
God bless Ireland and our weird relationship with time.
14. Watching a depressing soap to bring you back down to earth
. Going out on St. Stephen’s Day and causing absolute carnage
That’s what happens when you close the pubs for one day.
