The Late Late Toy Show
In Ireland, there is one night a year that the kids get to stay up late eating candy & watching the iconic "Late Late Toy Show." The show is regularly the most watched program of the year on Irish television and consists of kids performing and showing off some of this year's hottest toys. We joined in on this tradition and did it up right complete with candy and soda by the fire. Although they were a bit young for the show, Maeli and Milo LOVED it and had us recreate this night several more times. I think this is one Irish tradition that we might have to keep around even after we go back to the States.
