Christmas in Ireland lasts fromChristmas Eve to the feast of the Epiphany on January 6.
Ireland Christmas is more reigious than a time of fun. Lighted candles are placed in windows on Christmas Eve. The candles usually red in color. And decorated with sprigs of holly. Irish women bake a seed cake for each person in the house.
After the Christmas evening meal bread and milk are left out, and the door unlocked as a symbol of hospitality.
Children often put out Christmas sacks instead of stockings.
It is tradition to leave mince pies and bottle of Guinness out as a snack for Santa.
