This was the best interview! It made me laugh and brought back great memories of our trip to Ireland. Thanks, and please do interview her again as she is a true delight to listen to.
Another great podcast, but tugged at my heart more than most. We have on our list of things to do before we die, is celebrate Yule in Ireland.
Thanks for your work…
What an informative (and fun!) episode. Thanks!
I have just listened to Memories of Christmas by Brigid Haggerty. Really loved it and have put this page into My Favourites so that I can listen to the rest of the stories. Thank you.
We were there in mid-December, which was kind of like a tease. I’m glad we got to see lots of lights and decorations, but still got to spend Christmas with our families at home. In some ways it was the best of both worlds, but it also made me wish we would be there for the whole holiday.
Great podcast… Do you have a recommended CD for great seasonal Celtic music. It’s for my wife, so preferably all male voices… She loves the sounds of a good baritone and tenor
Of course I could look at the gift guide …
Check out the gift guide and this article from Kerry Dexter http://www.wanderingeducators.com/books-film/music/celtic-christmas-music.html
Another great podcast! I missed this first time around but honestly needed it more this year so it worked out great! I’m not ever going to try the pudding. I love chunky soup. I’m a peanut butter fan. Still laughing over some of the things – like the reaction to pumpkin pie. Lots of great stuff and I’ve bookmarked the sites! Thanks for sharing and for putting it out there again this year for those of us who missed it.
