We need to know how many days it is until Christmas Day.

The answer is quite frightening – 12 days.

So we have just 12 days to get our presents, food and lives together.

This year Christmas is on Sunday, 25 December.

New Year – Saturday, December 31 - is also a special time in Northern Ireland where families join together to celebrate.

Prior to Christmas our towns and cities become magical places with twinkling lights and cosy pubs to escape into as the nights turn cooler.
