Nollaig Shona Dhuit or Merry Christmas

Betty Malone
Special holidays, like Christmas, always bring out our cultural roots and traditions. For many families, it's the Irish roots that we embrace at Christmas time with traditional foods and decorations. A typical Christmas tree with Irish ornaments can be an unique way to display your family's heritage. Decorating that Irish Christmas tree is easy with Irish ornaments from the following retailers and online sources.

Catholic Supply in St. Louis

Catholic Supply in St. Louis has some of the most affordable Irish Christmas ornaments available in the states. With prices beginning at $1.95 and lots of choices in the $2.00 to $8.00 range, you could add lots of Irish charm to your Christmas tree this year. A new Irish Christmas ornament is mouth blown glass molded St. Patrick that has liquid silver in the mold, and beautifully hand painted. At $8.95 this beautiful Irish Christmas St. Partrick would make a beautiful gift for a fellow Irishman!
