UCSC: A Celtic Christmas

Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas recreates the joy and innocence of a night before Christmas in a remote farmhouse in his native parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin in the west of Ireland in the 1950s—when the neighboring families gather around the fire to grace the wintry night with traditional Irish Christmas carols to raise the rafters with the joy of their music, to knock sparks off the flagstone floor with traditional dances , and, of course, stories—they filled the night with the laughter of their stories.
