My McIrish Christmas Office Jocie McKade
I LOVE Christmas. It is my favorite holiday. I love everything about it — snow, trees, lights, food, decorations, and family. I live on a small ‘farm’, and I use that term lightly, and I love decorating it. I put lights on the barn, the house, in little used corners or the house. My electric bill soars during December! LOL
I don’t always have my office decorated as grandly, but I do usually have a strand of lights around my desk, or holiday scented candles burning, or a few small ornaments decorating my desktop. For the last few years, since I’ve been involved in tracing my family’s genealogy, I’ve  enjoyed creating an Irish Christmas tree. While I’ve always adored anything Celtic, Irish, or plaid, it wasn’t until I discovered so many “Mc’s” in my family tree, that I understood why.
So, for roughly ten years, I’ve had an Irish tree. It’s gone from just having green lights to a very eclectic collection of 
ornaments procured from everywhere. My bucket list is to visit Ireland and bring back a genuine Irish tree ornament. For now, I just enjoy my green lights, plaid tree skirt, lovely glass Irish Angels, and of course my top-topper clover for luck.
My Irish tree sits on top of my file cabinets, and it’s warm green glow is such a welcoming beacon in my office. This year, I added a lovely Irish angel under the spread of the pine branches. I’m not sure she was intended to be Irish, just Christmas, but she’s red-haired, dressed in Celtic green with gold wings and I figure if she could talk, there would be quite the ‘lilt’ to her voice.
Wishing y’all Merry Christmas (Nollaig Shona ) Jocie
