    A pint of Guinness for Santy. The youngest child in the house lighting a candle. Members of the family making a wish when they stir the Christmas pudding mix :)

    What else?

    I'm Irish and never participated or heard of any of them!!??
    I think having Turkey AND ham is an Irish thing, don't think they do that in England etc, just a bird. We're having lobster for starters this year, yum!

    Turkey and Ham would be the dinner in most of Scotland too. Turkey stuffed with haggis-tasty(expect abuse for this).......

    Whisky man you have brought back a memory of the old gran. A copy of Irelands Own would always be lying about her house
