Christmas in Ireland
by Colin Morrison (Editor)
Irish Stories for Christmas
by John B. Keane.
Keane's 15 stories are not traditional Christmas tales, rather, they are stories about the lives of ordinary Irish country people during the holiday season. In his focus on the offbeat, the quirky, the out-of-the-ordinary, and the hidden, Keane delivers listeners the real Ireland--the one behind the stereotypes.
An Irish Country Christmas
by Alice Taylor.
The author recounts Christmas stories from her childhood in the snowy
Irish countryside, capturing the sights and sounds of holiday festivities
among her family, beginning with the lighting of the Christmas candle.
More Irish Stories for Christmas

This new anthology stories by the irrepressible Irish author John B. Keane captures the rich folk culture of southwest Ireland that is now rapidly disappearing.

The Dolmen Book of Irish Christmas Stories
by Dermot Bolger (Editor).
A Celtic Christmas: Classic Tales from the Emerald Isle
by Mairtin O'Griofa (Editor), Mairton O'Griofa.
An Irish Night Before Christmas
by Sarah Kirwan Blazek, James Rice (Illustrator).
'Round Christmastime, things are a little different on the Emerald Isle. Instead of logs thrown onto the fire, we find turf blazing bright. Instead of cold eggnog spiced just right, the mother and father are enjoying their stout. You'll find no Donner or Cupid or Blitzen, but Ould Neddy the donkey and his small cart. Father Christmas with his Irish eyes twinkling, ushers in his seven elves and thus begins the wondrous An Irish Night Before Christmas.
This humorous tale in the same vein as the famous Cajun Night Before Christmas is the Irish version of Father Christmas's yearly visit. Told in delightful brogue, it will have everyone wishing "Nollaig sona agut!" (Merry Christmas to you!)
