Let's Have a Celtic Christmas

The holly, ivy, mistletoe…
The yew branch on the wall
All of these have Celtic roots
We celebrate them all
A candle in the window
To call the traveler home
A symbol of tradition
Wherever we may roam
The year is almost over
Christmas is nearly here
It’s time for celebration
Let’s raise a glass, my dear
The year is almost over
Christmas is nearly here
Let’s make a new tradition
And share our Celtic cheer!
The Yule log in the fire place
The new lit from the old
It burns for all the evening
And brings on luck foretold
Decorations on a Yule tree
The way we often do
Bright stars upon the pine boughs
Yes, that was Celtic too
And even Father Christmas
Our modern Santa Claus
Was once a Celtic fellow
Now, does that give you pause?
So hang a wreath upon your door
And set the Guinness out
Let’s have a Celtic Christmas
That’s what it’s all about!
