Christmas is a busy time for us as we both work over the holiday. But we try our best to get into the Christmas mood with the full Christmas Day dinner with all the trimmings being a hi-light in our house with most of the leg work being done by the lovely Polly in-spite of the fact that she works a full shift on the Christmas day (some women) , in my defence I do the washing up .Another tradition is the Christmas shopping trip this also seconds as our final Motorhome trip of the year. We tend to take a wee brake from our motorhome trips around this time of year until there is a bit more of a stretch in the days. A friend had mentioned that Beyond the trees in Avondale House in Rathdrum Co Wicklow were doing a Christmas lights display so we decide to check it out , cost is €15pp plus €5 for parking for the guided tour of the house with entry to the tree top tower included. The tour of Avondale House was very interesting giving a feel of what it was like to live in a big house in Victori
