What are the similarities and differences between this irish holiday tradition, and the one(s) your family or United States residents celebrate?

Some similarities and differences between Irish and American holiday traditions are that Christmas while in Ireland was a lot like Christmas in America. Family, friends, a Christmas tree, lots of food, and gifts. But there were a few Irish things that are different. Firstly, the Christmas dinner. It reminded me a lot of Thanksgiving dinner back home. Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was of course very tasty. Another thing was the lighting of the lights in the town. It was at the beginning of December. There is live music, free food, fireworks and interesting puppet-like things of Mr. and Mrs. Claus. It isn’t a long event, and it is very cold. Something else that was quite different than the usual were the school celebrations. Catholic schools, have a big Christmas party of all sorts on the last day of school.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello
