Midnight mass really is feckin’ class isn’t it?
It’s one of the beauties of Christmas in Ireland that a pretty significant portion of the population who wouldn’t go to church if you paid them all year will turn up in their local church for Midnight mass (which starts anywhere between 8-10pm in most places) on Christmas Eve.
Not only that, they’ll actually end up enjoying it too.
The craic level associated with the most popular mass of the year was taken up a level last night through the #midnightmassisfuckinclass hashtag which took hold throughout the country.
While we don’t in any way advocate using a smartphone or employing any method of distraction while in church, we got a good kick out of some of these.
Until next year people.
