It's Christmas in Tralee
... floor, but not before breaking off a bit of the manger, and definitely not before the audience gasped and erupted in giggles. The kids never finished their song. After Mass, I took a whirl around the church to admire it's unbelievable size, then walked back to the pub to find my friend. His family left, but new friends remained, including one who came up for the wild weekend in Limerick, and two who are also a part of the clan but were unable to ...
