It seems that each year, for the past quar-ter century, I have written about Christmasin Ireland. I have varied my topics, because,if it isn’t new to me, it may not be new to thereaders of the Emerald Reflections. I look forthe unique, the tried and true, first personrecollections of growing up on the island,and Irish Christmas stamps. (And if you areinterested, we have a Christmas page on ourwebsite that links to our Christmas articlesand recipes since 1998. It is at www.sham-rockclubwis.com/IrishChristmas.html)
For Nollaig 2016, I am offering up a pot-pourri of topics. Maybe it will allow you toget the spirit and breadth of the season.
The annual Christmas stamps are out. AnPost, the Irish Post Office, released the newpostage earlier this fall. According to AnPost, “The idea of people coming together isrepresented by The Holy Family on the 72cstamp and The Three Wise Men on the €1.10SOAR stamp. The third stamp will appear inthe Christmas Stamp Booklet and featuresnumerous types of Christmas decorationswhich are of importance as they bring thefamily unit together in order to decorate theirhomes in as grand a manner as they can. Allof these beautiful stamps were designed byWorkGroup in Dublin.”
The Christmas 2016 stamp issue also in-cludes a First Day Cover featuring the threestamps. And, as always, you can order thesefrom the post office. If you do not wish totravel to Ireland to buy them, you can go
online to make your purchase. Just go tohttp://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/IrishStamps/Shop/Shop.htm.
But if you stay home to buy them, youmay miss a brand new Irish tradition -Christmas decorations and markets. In re-cent years, Irish cities and towns have beendressing up their streets and city and towncentres with lights and decorations. Startingin November, you can find the tree lightingceremonies, the elaborate town and cityevents with bands, singers, and parades, anda way to make the festive even more so byjoining community. These are a part of theIrish Christmas markets.
Dublin has had some of the most elaborateChristmas and New Year displays. Large“Nollaig” signs run across streets. Christ-mas on the Square is centered on MerrionSquare. The schedule includes the Christmaslighting in late November, as well as a seriesof open houses and special showings at gal-leries and museums and shops.
In Waterford, Winterval attracted over ahalf million people in 2015. The festival in-cludes Winterval Train, ice skating, horsedrawn sleighs, and the Winterval Illumi-nates, where the city lights up for the Christ-mas season in Cathedral Square.
And you can head over to the GalwayContinental Market. Set in Eyre Square,and featuring 50 traders from all over Irelandand Europe, Galway’s Christmas shindig isone of the closest in spirit to the centuries-old Continental markets. Stalls sell all kindof crafts and food — you might find pastriesfrom Brittany, nuns selling icons from Be-
larus, or shawls and toys from Lapland. Asever, a German beer tent sits at the heart ofit all, with enough Bavarian brews, sauer-kraut, and lederhosen to keep the aficiona-dos happy. Or try Cork’s Glow: A CorkChristmas Celebration. They have the mar-ket and they have the Tir na Nollaig, theLand of Christmas.
One festival in Clare,the Burren Christ-mas Family Fayre in Lisdoorvarna, is afundraiser for a childcare facility. The in-door event features 26 craft, food and sea-sonally-themed stalls, classic games atnovelty stands, an hourly raffle and freshlybaked goodies. And down the road, theChristmas at the Milk Market in Limerickhas something for everyone. In existencesince 1852, the Milk Market has dozens ofstalls packed with artisan foods, crafts, dec-orations, toys and other tidbits.
And speaking of light, let us not forgetthe passage grave at Newgrange, CountyMeath. It was built during the Neolithic pe-riod around 3200 BC, making it older thanStonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Thesite consists of a large circular mound with astone passageway and interior chambers.The mound has a retaining wall at the frontand is ringed by engraved kerbstones. Thereis no agreement about what the site was usedfor, but it has been speculated that it had re-ligious significance – it is aligned with therising sun and its light floods the chamberon the winter solstice.
None of the structural slabs were quarried, for they show signs of having been

Patrick KavanaghA Childhood Christmas..................................
One side of the potato-pits was white with frost How wonderful that was, how wonderful!And when we put our ears to the paling-postThe music that came out was magical.
The light between the ricks of hay and strawWas a hole in Heaven’s gable. An apple treeWith its December-glinting fruit we saw –O you, Eve, were the world that tempted me.
To eat the knowledge that grew in clayAnd death the germ within it! Now and thenI can remember something of the gayGarden that was childhood’s. Again.
The tracks of cattle to a drinking-place,A green stone lying sideways in a ditch,Or any common sight, the transfigured faceOf a beauty that the world did not touch.
My father played the melodionOutside at our gate;There were stars in the morning eastAnd they danced to his music.
Across the wild bogs his melodion calledTo Lennons and Callans.As I pulled on my trousers in a hurryI knew some strange thing had happened.
Outside in the cow-house my motherMade the music of milking;The light of her stable-lamp was a starAnd the frost of Bethlehem made it twinkle.
A water-hen screeched in the bog,Mass-going feetCrunched the wafer-ice on the pot-holes,Somebody wistfully twisted the bellows wheel.
My child poet picked out the lettersOn the grey stone,In silver the wonder of a Christmas townland,The winking glitter of a frosty dawn.
Cassiopeia was overCassidy’s hanging hill,I looked and three whin bushes rode acrossThe horizon — the Three Wise Kings.
And old man passing said:‘Can’t he make it talk –The melodion.’ I hid in the doorwayAnd tightened the belt of my box-pleated coat.
I nicked six nicks on the door-postWith my penknife’s big blade –there was a little one for cutting tobacco.And I was six Christmases of age.
My father played the melodion,My mother milked the cows,And I had a prayer like a white rose pinnedOn the Virgin Mary’s blouse.
MilwaukeePresident’s Message..................................
Ladies and Gentlemen, Celtic Friends All,
Thanksgiving and the whole "HolidaySeason" usually brings out the best infolks. A time for family and extendedfamily and even the many extensionsbeyond that...classmates, neighbors,clubs, organizations, associations...
We all seem to have a little more pepin our step during the events, due to thejoy we share with others. Yet, we arrivehome exhausted, buoyed only by thememories we have created or re-createdand shared with everyone. Then we lookforward to doing it all again tomorrowor next weekend.
We, as the Shamrock Club, should beproud of our efforts, not only during this"most Wonderful Time of the Year" butthroughout the year, as we contribute inso many ways to our community.
********************************Hope you had a "FULL" fulfilling
Thanksgiving. Our club participated inthe Annual Holiday Folk Fair for the,I'm not really sure, umpteenth plus time.We limited our participation this year,but we are still committed to the goalsof the International Institute and lookforward to continuing our relationshipwith them. We used to do so much more.We would host receptions for newcitizens, and sponsor other swearing-inevents. Perhaps we could again, whencalled upon.
Our Christmas Party on December 1promises to be a wonderful wrap-up of achallenging year and, looking forward, Ithink we should all resolve to bring innew ideas and new members, evencombining the two.
Merry Christmas !!! Happy New Year !!!
Nollaig shona dhaoibh !!!- Joseph Hughes, President

naturally weathered, so they must have beencollected and then somehow transportedlargely uphill to the Newgrange site. Mean-while, the stones used for the cairn, whichtogether would have weighed around200,000 tons, were likely taken from theriver terraces between Newgrange and theBoyne, and there is, indeed, a large pond inthis area which has been speculated was thesite quarried out by Newgrange’s builders touse for material for the cairn.
The monument is noted for its artworkand carvings. Many were very sophisticatedin their design and work. Many more of thekerbstones are also carved, some of themwith carving on the side facing inwards.
Of the many notable features at New-grange, the most famous is the small openingor ‘roof box’ situated above the passage en-trance. At dawn on the winter solstice, theshortest day of the year (December 21st) andfor a number of days before and after, a shaftof sunlight enters the chamber through anopening in the roof box.
To the Neolithic culture of the Boyne Val-ley, the winter solstice marked the start of theNew Year - - a sign of nature’s rebirth andpromising renewed life to crops, animals andhumans. It may also have served as a pow-erful symbol of the inevitable victory of lifeover death, perhaps promising new life to thespirits of the dead.
But, if you plan on being a part of the sun-rise inside the tomb, do not just drive up andhope to get in. The people selected are cho-sen by lottery. And the lottery winners weredrawn in September. If you wish, you canapply for 2017. And again, they will bepulled in September, 2017.
Then there are the memories of IrishChristmases. A while back, Irish Timescolumnist Fintan O’Toole recalled a Christ-mas when he received a knitted circus fromhis parents. “When I close my eyes and thinkof Christmas, I see a fat man in a top hat witha whip. I see lurid stripes of red and yellow.This is not delirium tremens. It is the onlyChristmas present I can remember fromchildhood.”
His parents had suffered through a longand despairing year. His mother was preg-nant, just months after she miscarried. Hisfather had been on strike for three monthsand all the family savings had dissipated.There was no money for presents. Then hismother came across the patterns for the knitcircus. She made them out of leftover yarn.

continued from page 1 As he recounted, “She was afraid. Afraidthat we would see through the cheapness ofit all, the remnants of wool, the scraps offelt, the absence of anything that reeked ofshops and money.
She need not have been – it reeked in-stead of sawdust and animal sweat, of colourand fantasy. And somehow, though we knewnothing of where it came from, what lodgedit unforgettably in our memories was notjust the thrill of the circus but the movementof the hands that made it.”
Not all Christmases in Ireland come fromthe gloom and doom side of life. Here arethe Christmas memories of Marie O’Byrne,originally from Ireland, and now living inCalifornia. On a shopping trip with hermother, she recalled this conversation hermother was having, mostly with herself:“I’ll make the stuffing once I get in, and youand Pauline can peel all the potatoes andvegetables and put them in pots of water onthe stove top. The cake and the pudding areready and Dad has the whiskey and theGuinness. Angela will whip up the cream to-morrow so it will be nice and fresh and thenwe’ll be all set,” she went on, sometimes re-peating herself. “Do you think it will snowfor Christmas Day, Ma?” I asked her again.“Well, it sure feels like it love, it’s certainlycold enough but we’ll have to wait and see,”she replied matter of factly.
Which brings us to a simple recipe forthe holidays. A dessert, fruit and nut clusters, it is from the Irish Times.
• 1 large bar white chocolate• handful of dried cranberries and
blueberries, chopped• mixed (unsalted) nuts, chopped
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hotwater. Stir the dried fruit into one half of thechocolate and the nuts into the other half.Drop teaspoonful’s of the chocolate andfruit/nut mixture onto a greased baking sheetand chill in the fridge until set.
RING THE CHANGES: Make half whiteand half milk chocolate clusters, with fruitin the white and nuts in the milk chocolate.
And now, after you have viewed thelights of Ireland, both current and Neolithic,mailed your cards with the 2016 stamps, andrecalled your own Christmas memories,enjoy your meal and dessert, and create yourown modern Christmas for now and into thefuture.
Nollaig Shona Daoibh.A Merry Christmas to all.
