Tradições de Natal Irlandesas - Irish Christmas Traditions
Christmas is arriving, and also arrive along the traditions which are typical from this period of the year.
HOLLY BOUGH
Outras duas tradições que divertem tantos adultos como crianças são os Advent Calendars e Christmas Crackers.
There are many articles about the history of Cork, and many sections like games for children, fashion, crossword puzzles, culinary, and even one where readers take pictures with the Holly Bough in several parts of the world. Christmas here in Cork must have one Holly Bough edition at home.
Other two traditions which amuse both adults and children are the Advent Calendars and Christmas Crackers.
ADVENT CALENDAR
The Advent Calendar is also typical in several other countries, and it is a calendar which marks the dates previous to Christmas day. It usually starts on the first day of December, and each day children open a little "window" and retrieve a small chocolate until Christmas day.
Há até as opções para os pets! E no lugar do chocolate há um pequeno biscoito.
There are several types of Advent Calendars with different pictures.

CHRISTMAS CRACKERS
E aqui estão em todas as mesas de Natal. Eu até levei crackers para o Brasil no Natal do ano passado pois é uma tradição muito divertida.
Trata-se de um tubo como você pode ver pelas fotos. Sempre decorado com cores e motivos natalinos.
The crackers were something new for us, because we didn't know them before coming to Ireland.

And here they are in all Christmas tables. I even took crackers to Brazil last year because it is a very fun tradition.
It is a tube as you can see on the pictures. It is always decorated with colors and with Christmas themes.
The game consists of two people pulling the ends of the crackers. The winner is the one who keeps the larger part.
On the inside there is always a paper crown, which people wear on the eve, a joke or charade, and a little gift. On this picture, for example, is a 2016 calendar.
Another typically Irish tradition are the jumpers with Christmas themes. On the companies end of year parties, all go dressed with these jumpers.
On the streets it is easy to see people wearing these funny clothing. These are from The Late Late Toy Show TV program - a Christmas special edition made only for children on The Late Late Show which is watched all around Ireland. On this post we show other themes of Christmas jumpers.
