This past weekend was filled with Christmas festivities and I have to say I loved every minute of it! Cork city has slowly been putting up all of their lights and decorations over the past week but Friday marked the first day of Glow: A Cork Christmas Celebration. Saturday evening, Caitlin and I took a a break from our work to check it all out.
First stop, of course,O'Conaills
The city is all lit up, its beautiful and so festive
One of four trees this size throughout the city centre
Next up, the Ferris Wheel
Waiting in line
As if we had not gotten into the holiday season enough, Sunday I went to Dublin for their Christmas Markets. Caitlin had read online that the Make-A-Wish Foundation was striving to beat the world record for the number of people in Christmas jumpers (that's what they call sweaters over here) in the same place. We decided that we had to be there for that to have the excellent excuse to buy fun holiday themed sweaters.

I was #645 to register for the Christmas jumper event, it was so fun seeing the crazy, and festive outfits people had on
Its amazing how spirited the country is already, and its only December 1! I love the holiday season and I am having so much enjoying celebrating abroad; Europe definitely pulls out all the stops for Christmas.
