    This afternoon Irish Rail tweeted that there had been a collision when a train struck a herd of deer between Thurles and Limerick Junction. The train was delayed, the deer were written off.

    Some very funny responses in this thread...

    Lucky it didn't happen on Christmas Eve, there could have been really serious disruptions to Santa's overnight delivery service!

    I went very minimal on my Christmas decorations for 2018 but plenty of lights.
    So it was a garland around the fireplace and a very small real tree with a few decorations but when they are lit look beautiful.
    So since I spent so long away from my home for Christmas I decided to leave my decs up til near the end of January! :D
    My living room looks magical! :D:p

    I saw a Christmas tree in a house on Sunday evening all lit up while we were on the way home from my mams. :D

    At least the train wasn’t hitting the North Pole like this one! :)

    Some unexpected news.

    A 3 part rework of a Christmas Carol could be coming to BBC this Christmas, Tom Hardy set to star in but not necessarily as Scrooge.

    Had to go to my dentist yesterday - it's a converted terrace house - so all the other houses are residential homes - well the house next door still had a set of coloured fairy lights along their windowsill inside and a star hanging in the window. Cheered me right up and distracted me from thoughts of the drilling to come:eek::eek:

    Folks I recieved a Christmas card yesterday and my parents recieved one from the same person today! I don’t know if they posted late or were lying somewhere as they just had an undated international Swedish priority sticker on envelope!

    I don't understand why more places don't do that. You stand out more and all :)

    The town I'm from used to have a festival at the end of January in the town for a week and they'd keep the Town Christmas Lights up until the festival was over. It was great being up down on a gloomy January day/night and having the town still lit up.

    There's a cottage I pass daily that still has a Christmas Tree lighting up in the sitting room in the evening time. Its on the Whitehall Road, between Perrystown and Kimmage.

    A village I pass through on the way home from work does that too - and they got fab new icicle lights this year - it was lovely going home from work last Friday night seeing it all lit up again after a couple of weeks of darkness. Unfortunately they have now been consigned to storage somewhere until Nov/Dec

    Out for a walk today at st. Catherine's park and when we got back to the car the one parked in front of us had those reindeer antlers still on... made me smile.

    Does anyone recall that it is supposed to be bad luck if you leave Christmas decorations up, once they have all been taken down (if you see what I mean) - that last bit of forgotten tinsel, etc.

    It's supposed to cause gremlins in the house - things go missing, china gets broken, people are cranky.

    Well I could have sworn I took down every last Christmassy thing (not counting the tartan items which are separate) but only today there it was: one of the angels from one of the cribs, still dangling gamely from a wall. AND with a star!

    Strangely, in my house it often IS one of the angels - like drunken partygoers who have forgotten how to get home - clinging on in corners.

    I felt quite mean removing them off their pins and putting them firmly away until next year.
    "You stay right there!" I told them. "And no bad-luck threats - it is still just January - by a whisker!"

    So last night with treatmas I caught up on a few Christmas movies I didn’t get to watch over the holidays.

    I watched Daddy’s Home 2, Christmas Chronicles and Gavin and Stacey Christmas special. I was just missing the tree!
