Outstanding Mushera Christmas Day 2025 Climb
Blessed with glorious bright crisp weather the annual Mushera Climb took place on Christmas Morning 2025 in aid this year of the ongoing costs of Aubane Community Centre. It was my first year in decades attending this most impressive event when around one hundred energetic climbing enthusiasts complete the challenging task. The views are quite spectacular as the fog lifts revealing magnificent panoramic views. Back to Millstreet in time for 11.30am Mass celebrated by Fr. Billy Radley and joined by Canon John Fitzgerald, P.P. we listen to the superb Choir enhancing the ceremony. Here we share a selection of images from Christmas Day 2025 at Mushera and in Millstreet.

Eily’s Report – 23rd December
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
The shortest day of the year is gone and the countdown is on for Christmas, giving people a lot to think about and do in the next couple of days. Collect the turkey, weigh the ham, get that one last card into the post. Answer a million questions from the children about Santa, put the last coat of icing on the cake. Check your post, find one last present for someone, or maybe decide to get them a voucher instead. And no one to say s t o p. Hold it there for a moment, and ask what is it all about, is it worth it, is it really. And if we were to be truthful I’d say that the answer would yes for sure, it is worth it. One big bash at the darkest, (weatherwise) time of the year. It brightens up the scene, with the lights and the Christmas trees, the shopping and it brings people home from the farthest corners of the world to be with family for the great feast of Birth of Christ, the greatest story ever told. Others from here will travel to be with family members in far away places. All over the world little school children dress up in all sorts of flimsy gear to act out the Nativity Play, their little hearts bursting with pride. Their faults and failings bring gales of laughter to adoring parents and nervous teachers, but their innocence never fails to send their message home. Yes It is worth it all.

Wonderfully Impressive Feature on Patrick Lynch in Today’s “Echo”
We thank Brian Lynch, formerly of Ballydaly, Millstreet for alerting us to a fascinating feature regarding his brother, Patrick, on today’s “Echo” newspaper (17th Dec. 2025) and also on “Echo Live”. 
The most interesting feature is entitled “Passion for Motorsport Took Me Far from Cork”… One of Patrick’s comments: “We just do Christmas better in Ireland. I love the festive feeling that is everywhere the minute you step off the plane!” One may read what appears on “Echo Live” here.
Eily’s Report – 16th December
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
A beautiful sunny Monday gets the week off to a great start. For those of us who do not have to go out only now and then, the bright sunshine beckons to us to venture out and when we do, we will always find something to attract your attention. Be it an old pan that we threw out with some waste for the birds or a flower pot that would be better off out of sight. Putting up the Christmas decorations takes up most of our time indoors at the moment, but it would be a pity if it took from what is going on out of doors. My camellias don’t flower until the Spring, but I found one with its rich red blossom out in full regalia and ready to brighten up my Christmas even before it came. Perhaps I don’t get up early enough to see my little wren these mornings or maybe he is gone into hiding knowing that St.Stephen’s day is not that far off.
