From Boston to Brisbane, Donegal accents will carry home again this Christmas, through voice notes, video calls and carefully timed messages sent across time zones.
For many, Christmas morning will began with a phone propped beside the kettle, grandparents waving at grandchildren on screens and siblings laughing through patchy signals.
Stories of frosty mornings in Letterkenny meet summer heat in Australia, while memories of past Christmases will bridge the miles in between.
Families living abroad have shared their photos and wishes wrapped in warmth with the Donegal News. Here’s a selection below:
Shauna, Tommy, Tom and Teddy in Australia sent a special message to Nana Judy, Grandad Bernard Mc Carron and all the Mc Carron Family in Raphoe.
Mollie and Robyn Lonergan in Perth, Australia sent special festive wishes to all their family in Burtonport.
Daniel and Adam in Essex wished their Granny Toner in Glenswilly the best Christmas.
