Cork city’s Christmas transformation is a huge task for all involved
Is there anything better than Cork City at Christmas? As that hot port you have just consumed makes it way down to the tips of your toes, you walk out of the pub and into the spirit of Christmas greeted by smiling shoppers on Patrick Street or Oliver Plunkett Street. Above and all around you hundreds and hundreds of light bulbs hang effortlessly like an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-twinkling chorus of silent carol singers that seem always on the verge of bursting into song. You feel like doing the same. After all, it is a most wonderful time of the year.
And while the city’s decorations seem to appear out of nowhere every year, the mammoth efforts of Cork City Council are only matched by a certain bearded man in a red suit on Christmas Eve.
