We do occasionally have Christmas in July celebrations but no real festival except the occasional naked dancing around a bonfire (we don't need a special occasion for that though). At least my poinsettia will be flowering -- or leafening, or whatever it's called for that weird plant.Leanne sorry for childish! It is not!(the booze, you know)
A better song, much more suited to my way of celebration, is:
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
(I won't link and upset billy, but the best version is by Aoife ní Fhearraigh)
Thank you for this link. At least the words are short enough to not be totally massacred by "Irish" orthography.
