Irish is an old Celtic language that is sadly not as widely spoken as English. Thankfully there is a small but dedicated community that tries to keep the language alive.

I get an 8 foot tall noble fir every year from a local tree farm for Christmas. Even though I am not religious, I love keeping this tradition alive.
