Christmas In The Old(ish) Country

acelticchristmas.com

The 20th century came late to much of rural Ireland. 

Electricity did not arrive in some households until the 1960s and 70s. 

So a certain rustic quaintness remained in Irish society, and in its Christmas traditions. 

The traditions are brought to life in "A Celtic Christmas," playing another Christmas season on stages across the country. 

Founder and chief story teller Tomaseen Foley and members of the cast join us in studio.
