#IrishFamilyChristmas is the only hashtag that will help you survive this week
IT’S DECEMBER 23. Many of us, if we’re lucky, are about to spend several days in close contact with our families.

And her #irishfamilychristmas hashtag has now become a place where we can ALL share those moments that make us want to dive through the kitchen window.

Join in here. Thank you, Helen O’Rahilly, for this gift. And thanks to all our families for being there.
