Festival Name: Christmas

Festival Country: Ireland

Festival Type(s): Christmas, Religious, Traditional

What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to sing carols by candlelight in the brisk air in a quaint New England seacoast town as the lights of the town tree blink on for the first time.
