Christmas Q&A: David Lynch, Westmeath footballer and teacher

We’re all a bit nosy about what Christmas is like in other people’s houses - so we asked some local people to answer six questions about their Christmases:

1. Are you an organised shopper or a Christmas Eve gift-shopper?

2. Do you have any family Christmas traditions, or maybe ornaments that must go on the tree each year?

3. Who does the Christmas Day dinner in your house? What parts of the Christmas dinner are your favourite?

4. How do you spend Christmas afternoon?

5. What is you r best Christmas memory?

6. What are your favourite Christmas films or songs?

1. I’d like to think I’m organised and then every year I seem to be in a panic, buying the last few bits and wrapping presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

2. Can’t say we do. We would usually head out to a family friend’s house Christmas morning and spend a bit of time there.

3. The mother always does the Christmas dinner. I’m a big fan of the turkey, ham and the stuffing. I’d usually over-do it and make a sandwich then in the evening with the same instead of having dessert.

4. We would usually give each other presents in the afternoon before the dinner is served up.

5. Having my Granny over for Christmas when she was here with us.

6. I’m a big fan of the movie Elf and Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea always gets me going.
