Three Irish holiday traditions which can make our Christmas more meaningful are shared by acclaimed film and television actor Neal McDonough in this one-of-kind narration. One tradition reminds that the holidays are for renewing relationships, reconciling differences and returning kindnesses. A second, placing a lighted candle in the window - a reminder that long ago the Holy Family sought shelter but found no room at the inn - has become a symbol of openheartedness, signaling to others that they are welcome within. In Ireland, Christmas is ushered in by adorning the house with holly, the third tradition. But a simple wreath of green leaves and red berries is more than a decoration. It is a symbol of Christ’s suffering for all humankind, and an assurance that because of Him, heartache can give way to hope and peace.
