This is an article about the tradition from the HollyBough a couple of years ago.

The HollyBough is a Christmas newspaper/magazine from Cork that is published every year.

Oh! That must mean the Hollybough is out for Christmas. My mother has read it for decades.

Another tradition is the hollybough. I get it every year in memory of my father. (RIP) keeps the connection alive

The #HollyBough interviewed Seán Ó Sé a few years ago where he told some stories of his childhood, his father's death, and his big break in music via Seán Ó Riada.
