Dan,

Good resource from Corey. Tourism Ireland may have free posters available. Call and ask them. The Wren Boy traditions might be interesting to your co-workers.

Here are a few more links:

Dan,

If it's a singing production, as you mentioned, I hope they will be singing "Christmas in Killarney".

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! Judy, that is an interesting suggestion. I will have to get on youtube and listen to it! Anyother ideas out there for Christmas songs from or about Ireland?
