Sea, agus an t-am sin freisin, a tugann deis d\u00fainn dul siar b\u00f3ithr\u00edn na smaointe, go dt\u00ed na laethe \u00fad fad\u00f3, nuair a sheasamar ag breathn\u00fa le hionadh ar an mBeithil\u00edn \u00e1lainn, a bh\u00ed socraithe go deas s\u00edoch\u00e1nta, i dTeach an Phobail, agus siar n\u00edos fuide f\u00f3s, go dt\u00ed an ch\u00e9ad Mh\u00e1ins\u00e9ar i mBeithil R\u00edoga, sa T\u00edr Naofa fh\u00e9in, i dt\u00fas r\u00e9 na Cr\u00edosta\u00edochta, nuair a rugadh \u00cdosa sa St\u00e1bla, toisc nach raibh \u00e1it ar bith le f\u00e1il ag a mh\u00e1thair, Muire, n\u00f3 ag Iosaf, i dTeach A\u00edochta an bhaile, an o\u00edche bheannaithe sin. <\/p>

Christmas Night<\/h1>

F\u00e9ach mar a chuir an file, M\u00e1ire Mhac an tSaoi, \u00e9, ina d\u00e1n \u201cO\u00edche Nollag\u201d, agus \u00ed ag r\u00e1 go raibh d\u00eddean le f\u00e1il ag lucht an airgid sa Teach A\u00edochta c\u00e9anna sin, an o\u00edche \u00fad, ach gur f\u00e1gadh an an Mhaighdean is a c\u00e9ile, gan bheith istigh le f\u00e1il acu, ach amh\u00e1in i seanst\u00e1bl\u00e1n na mbeith\u00edoch….<\/p>

Bh\u00ed soilse ar lasadh i dtigh sin na ha\u00edochta,<\/p>

C\u00f3iri\u00fa gan chaoile, bia agus deoch,<\/p>

Do cheannaithe olla do cheannaithe s\u00edoda,<\/p>

Ach lu\u00edfidh Mac D\u00e9 ins an tigh seo anocht.<\/p>

T\u00e1 an file ag tagairt don n\u00f3s a bh\u00ed beo, i measc Gael, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, go mb\u00edodh an Teaghlach Naofa ag f\u00e1na\u00edocht timpeall an o\u00edche sin, agus iad ag iarraidh bheith istigh a fh\u00e1il i dteach eic\u00ednt, agus b\u2019in an f\u00e1th a d\u2019fh\u00e1gta\u00ed an doras ar leathadh, coinneall na Nollag ar lasadh, agus \u00e1it socraithe r\u00e9idh d\u00f3ibh ag an mbord, ag s\u00fail go dtiocfaid\u00eds ar chuairt chucu, an o\u00edche bheannaithe sin. F\u00e9ach ar\u00eds mar a chuireann M\u00e1ire Mhac an tSaoi \u00e9, i v\u00e9arsa eile, sa d\u00e1n c\u00e9anna sin…..<\/p>

F\u00e1gaidh an doras ar leathadh ina coinne,<\/p>

An Mhaighdean a thiocfaidh is a na\u00ed ar a hucht,<\/p>

Deonaigh do shuaimhneas a ligint a Mhuire,<\/p>

Lu\u00edodh Mac D\u00e9 ins an tigh seo anocht.<\/p>

N\u00edl dabht ar domhan, ach gur \u00e9irigh leis an bhfile, dearcadh agus creideamh na cosmhuintire a thuiscint, agus a l\u00e9iri\u00fa, i v\u00e9arsa\u00ed an d\u00e1in \u00e1lainn sin, \u201cO\u00edche Nollag\u201d.<\/p>
