Christmas in Ireland

Did you know that the Gaelic greeting for 'Merry Christmas' is:  
'Nollaig Shona Duit'   (It is pronounced as 'null-ig hun-a dit')

 And Santa Claus is known as 'San Nioclás' (Saint Nicholas) or 'Daidí na Nollag'

The day after Christmas Day, St. Stephen's Day (Boxing Day), like in the UK is also very important in Ireland.
