Hi, Jean, Could you keep your eye open for an Irish meal prayer that I could use at Christmas Eve? I have a big family dinner on Christmas Eve, and as I hold up the traditions of my mixed(up) family, we pray before the meal. After the prayer, we break bread. Meaning, we distribute wafer bread to everyone, any kind would do, but we use wafer bread, Oplatki (Polish), (the same kind used as hosts in Catholic Churches and can be purchased at the church or religious stores). Then we make our way around to each person at the gathering, break a small piece from their bread and they from ours, say "Merry Christmas" or whatever you wish, kiss, and eat it. It's a wonderful way to build tradition and bonding within the family. Luke McGarry
