Turkey In Waterford this Christmas

newportwex · 22-12-2010 12:40PM #1

Anyone know much about our Turkish community here in Waterford? I know a few business's are Turkish run, there's a barbers and a kebab shop isn't there?

I wonder do they go home for Christmas or celebrate it here? Happy Christmas to them all anyway....

The Turks are generally Muslim....so I doubt they celebrate Christmas

Ah I didn't realise that, it's fascinating though. Must be a large enough community of them in Waterford, you'd never hear a peep out of them though, nice people.
