Nollaig shona daoibh go léir!

Here we are then, Christmas Day. I thought I’d do a quick yule blog in between finishing a rather late breakfast and starting the preparations for dinner*.

Let me just wish you all a Merry Christmas, Nollaig Shona, Nadolig Llawen, Fröhliche Weihnachten, Joyeux Noël, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, Feliç Nadal, Glædelig Jul, etc…

And in the words of a traditional Irish toast:

Go mbeirimid beo ar an am seo arís!

(“May we live to see this time next year”)

*Roast beef Chateaubriand, with red wine gravy, honey-roast carrots and parsnips, sprouts, and roast potatoes. Preceded by smoked salmon with asparagus and followed by Christmas pudding.

P.S. I couldn’t resist sharing this cartoon from the Christmas issue of Private Eye:
