IRISH CHRISTMAS
This festive site begins with the Gaelic greeting, Nollaig Shona Duit Agus Slainte, (Merry Christmas). As a lively Celtic tune plays, this site takes your from preparations for Christmas (with children gathering holy and ivy to deck the halls and grown ups going to market to bring home the Christmas) through Christmas eve (eating slices of ice Christmas Cake plied with good Irish Whiskey ) and the christmas day meal of spiced beef, plumb cake, and apple short bread pie. Moving on to Saint Stephen's Day traditions including Wren Hunting. A charming Irish Christmas Carol and Poem follow. To complete your Irish Christmas, track Santa's journey with Norad and in Christmas Crafts, carve a candle holder from a turnip for your Christmas candle.

a different culture...
a different language...
a different world !
“This reviewer enjoyed this wonderful story of myths and a love forged at a time when two culture’s were finding their own footing in the world and this land called Scotland. The storyline flowed smoothly, with no out of place attempts to create a story. The author developed a wonderful, engrossing medieval story filled with love, laughter and myths. From the myth of the Stone of Destiny to Selkies, the story is weaved with classic romance. The plot was interesting mix of romance, humor and myths that blend together like fine wine. Ms. Amiri weaves a tale of wonderful proportions and gives the reader exactly what they expect, a wonderful love story. The characters connect after several pages and the reader roots for them to succeed. As the book draws to an end, it leaves the reader wanting more. This book is set apart as it tells a medieval tale with mythical creatures that are only heard of in stories. Ms. Amiri gives a wonderful story.” multidimensional characters that draw the reader in and don’t let go until the end of the book. This reviewer gives high praise to Ms. Amiri for a wonderful story set in a time when men were men and women were women.”

“DANGER IS SWEET is a story of one my favorite times in history; the Celtic era. Cornelia Amiri has obviously done her research into this subject before ever setting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, whichever the case may be. Every time I pick up one of Cornelia's books and begin reading, I learn something new about this period in history. Cornelia brings this period to life as we follow our hero and heroine through the beginning of their "forced" handfasting. I really love the paranormal element woven throughout this story as we discover the secret Malcolm is holding close. This is a wonderful story and I highly recommend it to all lovers of anything Celtic.”
