Sierra Leone student blown away by her first Irish Christmas

This is not just another Christmas fairy-tale; it is a unique story about the irresistible Christmas spirit that exists in Ireland. With the pandemic, the celebration this year has been different.

I see it as a time to share love not only with your family but with those who are within your reach.
