Stories of Christmas
Episode 4 features stories of Christmases past in Co. Clare in the West of Ireland.
Stories of the magic of Christmas candles in the days before electricity, the hustle and bustle of decorating the house, what 'Santy' brought children, the aromas that remain forever in the memory of Christmas cooking and baking, and of course stories of The Wren!
This podcast is based on a selection of stories contained in our CD of Christmas Memories from Co. Clare. If you would like a copy of the CD, please contact us on info@clarememories.ie. There's no charge for the CD, just for postage.
The first 5 episodes of this podcast are funded by The Heritage Council.
