This is definitely getting us into the Christmas spirits.

A crucial part of the Christmas decorations in any Irish house is the nativity scene, or ‘the crib’, as your mammy might say. Not only does it hold a sacred place in your mother’s heart, but it’s also great craic to see the dog or cat attempt to figure out exactly what it is, and try to use it as a place to sleep.

However, one Irish lad has decided to give the classic scene a bit of an Irish twist, with the Christmas spirits in mind, and we do mean spirits.

Of course we’re all aware that the wise men were called Paddy, Jameson, and eh…Cork Dry Gin. Our compliments to Ultan Osbourne who made the fine tribute to Christmas time in Ireland, as he has done a very fine job on this one.
