Dermod Rooney. Dermond Rooney said: "I do love Christmas now. I was never a singer so I couldn’t always remember the songs. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, that’s up on top of the list now. It’s a classic. There are a lot of younger singers now singing some old songs these days. White Christmas is hard to beat because it is so sentimental to the time of year, and the rest of the world. It’s worldwide." Photo: George Sweeney. DER2149GS – 031

Fionnán MacSwiney from County Cork said: "I’m not really into Christmas at all, no. I’m a Christian and I believe Christmas has Pagan roots. I’m up here today to see the North, and I’m going to the Giant’s Causeway today." Photo: George Sweeney. DER2149GS – 033
