Here goes. The next in the series of podcasts about the night before Christmas in this Ó Héiligh household. The stars of the show as usual are Méabh who is 7 this year and Rían who is 5. I am continually proud of Méabh. Her ambition to constantly improve herself is just stunning. But it must be said that this year Rían has blown my expectations out of the water. His speech, confidence, caring nature and sense of what he thinks is funny have all developed way faster than I anticipated. I was going to narate over the audio but I decided against it. I have listened back to previous years and I came to the decision that this is about the children. It’s about their energy on the night before Christmas. I will relish the time when they are adults when I can show them all of the memories that we made as a family during this great time of year.

I would like to take a moment to wish you all a very happy Christmas. May 2021 bring everything you would like for you and your family.
