Curragh Plains, county Kildare.
Xmask Tree, an art installation by Kildare photographer and visual artist Eamonn Farrell on a whitethorn tree in the middle of the Curragh.
The tree – decorated with disposable face masks, inscribed with the legend ‘We Shall Overcome’ – is festooned with fairy lights and other baubles which would normally adorn a Christmas tree, drawing attention to…
‘… the pain and suffering being caused to people by the Covid-19 Pandemic. He is also suggesting by the use of the words, We Shall Overcome, from the famous song by folk singer Pete Seeger, that the way to defeat the virus is by positive collective action.
Created a few days ago in a vast empty space on the Curragh, Mr. Farrell, in a message below the tree, has asked anyone who comes by it, to pause for a moment and think of the thousands of people who have lost their lives both directly and indirectly over the last two years, from the Pandemic. He expects to remove the items from the tree on the second of January.’

‘I Am Vaccine Free!!! No way will I ever allow that muck into my body!
‘As much as I abhor the ridiculous restrictions, there was a rare opportunity for me to spend quality time with my sisters, nieces and nephews at Christmas. There may be times when you too have to show a negative test to get in somewhere or to travel.
‘I don’t expect anyone to not have to compromise on occasions, especially as we attempt to interact with loved ones during these crazy, crazy times.’
Happy Christmas everyone’
Negative test?
Is that allowed?
FIGHT!
Update:
This afternoon.
Jim Corr adds:
‘Anyone who thinks I actually took any of the vaccines, given the horror stories of vaccine injury I share daily, is either a troll intent on damage and division, or a complete idiot!’

Blessings of the season to you ALL.
After a difficult year, our severely depleted crew are starting to wind down for Christmas.
Some of us are heading to the Broadsheet Christmas party (in the snug of the Dawson Lounge – bring nibbles), others are going back to their bitterly-divided families while others still are taking this opportunity to enter specilaist rehabilitation facilities.
Here’s to conquering demons.
We all wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
Expect daily, if less frequent, posting, through December 27.

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy.
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time.

Went Christmas shopping in Dublin yesterday. Was shocked to see so many vacant shops – think I counted 14 on Grafton St alone. There were plenty of shoppers out but the buzz around Dublin is gone. They’re destroying it. Killing it slowly but surely.

Eimear Quinn – Winter Solstice
Walking in a winter wonderland.
OK, so we’re a few days late with this one but the stunning performance by our erstwhile Eurovision queen Eimear Quinn and the picturesque, snow-kissed video are too good to be ignored.
The lyrics are by Brendan Graham; the piano is by Gavin Murphy; and the arrangement by Sarah Class.
Nick says: No business like snow business.
