I love Irish blessings. Most of the Irish blessings that I’ve heard are both joyful and heartfelt. Because of that, I think that they make some of the nicest readings at weddings.

When I came across these Irish Christmas blessings today, I knew that I wanted to share them with you:

May you be poor in misfortune this Christmas
and rich in blessings
slow to make enemies
quick to make friends
and rich or poor, slow or quick,
as happy as the New Year is long.

May your sheep all have lambs but not on Christmas night!

Peace and plenty for many a Christmas to come.
