KCLR's Joy To The World

As we hear from our guest Nicole, The Philippines begin celebrating Christmas very much earlier than us here in Ireland.  The Christmas meal consists of sweet ham and cheese, and even though there are no chimneys in the Philippines, Santa can still enter the home!  It is a very important family tradition to make decorations together and to ensure you attend a certain number of masses.

What is KCLR's Joy To The World?

Most of us will be celebrating a traditional Irish Christmas in 2024 but for those with a different heritage, Christmas celebrations can be quite different.

Joy To The World celebrates Christmas from around the World, where we hear from different nationalities and discover what makes Christmas special to each. Guests join us to tell us all about their Christmas traditions, music, preparations, decorations, foods and exchanges of gifts.

Available to start streaming from 16 December 2024 for 10 episodes.
