Moody/Ambiance is this weekend's challenge so I headed down to the Flower
Market in search of some festive spirit. And sure enough I found it, with children
queuing to board Thomas The Tank to see Santa in his cabin, a roaring fire
in the coffee shop, and lots of Christmas decorations.
Sadly, we're all finding it a bit hard to get in the festive spirit in Ireland this
year due to the recession. For some families it will be a real struggle.
But if there's one silver lining to the dark economic clouds, it's that Christmas
might be a bit less commercial this year and people might begin to realise that
the important things are spending time with family and friends, and giving gifts
chosen with care and love rather than a big cheque book.
