The Holly Bough (Xmas magazine from the Evening Echo people): Guaranteed Christmas nostalgia glow for every broadsheet reader from Cork. Will mean nothing to Dubliners but what cares broadsheet for that tiny minority of its readers.

Very muchly.

We will be posting throughout the ‘holiday’ period but will return proper on Thursday January 2.

Less frequent but NOT idle.

Karl is having a “look under the bonnet” during Xmas and may introduce some improvements to Broadsheet’s design and useability in the new year.

If you have any suggestions for the site or the apps in 2014 please leave them below.

Karl has kindly promised to address every query in a non passive-aggressive manner.

jumpers

A video I made about Ireland at Christmas in 2013- the shopping, the drinking, the jumpers, the lights, the homeless and the next morning with poem by Patrick Kavanagh ‘A Christmas Childhood’. It is read by Eoghan O’Drisceoil who himself spent a time homeless but has recently published two collections of poetry. This film is about a country re discovering simple childhood pleasures at this time of year. But mostly it is about Christmas Jumpers…

“Can you hear me.”

“We’ve loads of news but now that we’re on the spot we can’t think of any.”

“Can you hear me?”

“Does she have any news?”

“I can hear you.”

“Ok, we’re on.”

The genuine hell of the seasonal ‘Skype’ with TropperStopper. as the bewildered parents and Clisare as the fairly patient, in fairness, daughter.

Thanks Reppy
