- 8
- 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,640
- <span style="style.default_1">Though he was only ten at that time,</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">he was still the man of the family.</span>
- 9
- 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,120
- <span style="style.default_1">He's holding my auntie Aggie.</span>
- 10
- 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,840
- <span style="style.default_1">Some called her</span>

- 12
- 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880
- Pat, why isn't Aggie wearing her jumper?
- 13
- 00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,720
- I couldn't get it on her, Mammy,
- and Angela's late again.
- 14
- 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,840
- That child will have me above
- in St. Jeremiah's asylum.
- 15
- 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,680
- Mammy says you'll have her in the asylum
- 16
- 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,040
- - if you don't get down this minute.
- - Pat!

- Uh! Ooh! Oof!
- 20
- 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,040
- - Angela!
- - Coming.
- 21
- 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,520
- How have you grown out of this already?
- You'll catch your death.
- 22
- 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,440
- She can have mine.
- 23
- 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,240
- <span style="style.default_1">She grew up to be my mother.</span>
- 24
- 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,760
- Thank you, Angela.
- 25
- 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,360
- Late again, I see.
- 26
- 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,760
- Yes. Hello, Mrs. Blake.
- 27
- 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640
- -Pat, give your jacket to Angela.
- -What? My jacket to Angela?
- 28
- 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,000
- -Get your own jacket.
- -No more messing about.
- 29
- 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
- -Here.
- -Tom, you give yours to Pat.
- 30
- 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,600
- <span style="style.default_1">And this is a story</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">about the Christmas Eve...</span>
- 31
- 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,120
- You look like a clown,
- all big and bulky like--
- 32
- 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,520
- - Pat!
- <span style="style.default_1">-...when she was nearly six years old.</span>
- 33
- 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,280
- -I'm grand.
- -I won't see you catching your death.
- 34
- 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280
- I don't want to wear my ma's coat to Mass.
- 35
- 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
- Then take my scarf.
- 36
- 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,480
- Right, come on.
- 37
- 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,920
- It'll be Christmas Day
- before we get there.

- - Maggot.
- - You're a maggot. Agh!
- 42
- 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,080
- Hey, hey, hey.
- 43
- 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,120
- - I'm telling Mam.
- - You're not.
- 44
- 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,440
- She'll send you to bed
- without even a cup of tea.
- 45
- 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,520
- Shut up. She won't.
- 46
- 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680
- When you take a coin from her purse,
- you're punished.
- 47
- 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,080
- Imagine what she would do
- for pushing me under a horse.
- 48
- 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,040
- -Hurry up, the pair of you.
- -Pat pushed me.
- 49
- 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,960

- <span style="style.default_1">you certainly came out with one.</span>
- 54
- 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800
- It is a time for reflection
- 55
- 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,600
- and a time to help those less fortunate
- and to forgive foes
- 56
- 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,520
- and those who've sinned against us.
- 57

- Aye...?
- 63
- 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,120
- Sorry.

- Can you please
- just stop fighting for one minute?
- 65
- 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,320
- As it is written in Luke,"

- -Mammy, can I go back and light a candle?
- -No, Angela, we need to get home.

- Hello.
- 100
- 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880
- Would no one put a blanket
- over your little body?
- 101
- 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,160
- I bet you would never complain
- 102
- 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,200
- 'cause you wouldn't want to make
- your mammy the slightest bit unhappy.
- 103
- 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,600
- What?
- 104
- 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,320
- Oh!
- 105
- 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
- Oh, the thief. The thief...!
- 106
- 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
- -...said thank you to me.
- -I think He said thank you to me first.
- 107
- 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,080
- There's no way...
- 108
- 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,120
- But if you remember rightly...
- 109
- 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,960
- Are you all right in there?
- 110
- 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,400
- We'll get you home,
- get you all warm and snuggly
- 111
- 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,400
- and wrap you up
- like a little holy sausage.
- 112
- 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,080
- Mm-hmm.
- 113
- 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,440
- Oh, it's not far.
- Just a few streets down that way.
- 114
- 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,640
- Father, how are you?
- There's been a miracle.
- 115
- 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,080
- What? What miracle?
- 116
- 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,240
- Look at all those lovely sweets.
- 117
- 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,240
- If you're good, Mam might give us a penny
- 118
- 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
- and we can spend it on whatever we want.
- 119
- 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,760
- Bull's-eyes, pear drops, humbugs,
- whatever you want.
- 120
- 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,840
- What's that?
- 121
- 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
- Oh, no, we can't go in, Baby Jesus.
- 122
- 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,080
- Mam said we had to go
- straight home, no question.
- 123
- 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,320
- Well, since it's your birthday,
- we'll go in for one minute.
- 124
- 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,040
- Oh, it's free to look.
- 125
- 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400
- You can look at them all day if you like.
- 126
- 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,240
- Would you look at them all there?
- 127
- 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,520
- Excuse me.
- 128
- 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,200
- My favorites are the apple drops.
- 129
- 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,320
- Excuse me. Shop's closed.
- 130
- 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760

- Hey, what have you got there?
- 132
- 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,880
- -Is it a dolly from Santy?
- -No, 'tis too early for Santy.
- 133
- 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,880
- -Did you steal it from Santy?
- -Er--
- 134
- 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,680
- -Oof!
- -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 135
- 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440
- Shh, shh. Easy, easy, easy.

- 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,760
- Uh...?
- 137
- 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,280
- What's that?
- 138
- 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,320
- Uh...
- 139
- 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360
- Is it...
- 140
- 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,360
- Is it a Christmas shillin'?
- 141
- 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,160
- Thanks.
- 142
- 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,080
- Huh.
- 143
- 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,880
- Oh, Baby Jesus,
- they don't understand.
- 144
- 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,440
- I'm not stealing you.
- 145
- 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,280
- I just want to get you warm.
- 146
- 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760
- One night, just one night in my room,
- then I'll bring you back.
- 147
- 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,640
- It's just silly shadows.

- It's just silly shadows.
- 149
- 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,440
- I'm not at all frightened,
- so you shouldn't be either.
- 150
- 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,000
- Penny for the pauper.
- 151
- 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,520
- There you go.
- 152
- 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,760
- Even I can see that you have
- a good heart, me darlin'.

- And a merry Christmas to you.
- 155
- 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
- I don't want anyone gawking at us.
- Let's go round the back.

- Will you help me, Baby Jesus?
- 157
- 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,360
- Okay, so...
- 158
- 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,000
- one, two, three... hup!
- 159
- 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,560
- No, no, no, Baby Jesus.
- 160
- 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,240
- You have to go <span style="style.default_1">over </span>the wall. Again.
- 161
- 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
- One, two, three. Hup!
- 162
- 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,160
- Come on now, Baby Jesus.
- 163
- 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,200
- No more messin'.
- 164
- 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360
- Try really hard this time.
- 165
- 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,960
- One, two, three. Hup!
- 166
- 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,560
- You did it, Baby Jesus.
- Good man, yourself.
- 167
- 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,640
- Oh, no.
- 168
- 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,280
- Oh, no, Baby Jesus.
- 169
- 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,040
- What are you doing in Mrs. Blake's yard?
- 170
- 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,640
- There's no excuse
- for the way you're behaving,
- 171
- 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,120
- flying round like an angel.
- I've a good mind to leave you there.
- 172
- 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,400
- All right, all right.
- I'll come and get you.
- 173
- 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,800
- Don't make a sound.
- 174
- 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,720
- Oh, no, you poor thing.
- 175
- 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,520
- And me giving out to you and everything.
- 176
- 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,720
- And you're smiling at me
- even though I hurt you.
- 177
- 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,000
- Come here to me.
- 178
- 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
- Huh?
- 179
- 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,160
- That's the baby Jesus from the church.
- 180
- 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,680
- He's supposed to be sleeping in his crib
- 181
- 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,280
- and you have him here
- in the freezing cold?
- 182
- 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,320
- I'm warming him up.
- 183
- 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480
- His mammy will be roaring
- and bawling when she sees him gone.
- 184
- 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680
- Right, fire.
- 185
- 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,680
- This is where myself and Aggie sleep.
- 186
- 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,920
- Now you must be careful
- 'cause she ripped the head off my doll.
- 187
- 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,320
- But don't worry, I'll mind you.

- Please, Mammy, please?

- You've all had your say.

- 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,880
- Now I want to tell <span style="style.default_1">you </span>a story--
- 225
- 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,800
- one about the night you were born.
- 226
- 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,400
- -I was born on New Year.
- -Stroke of midnight.
- 227
- 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880
- Head in the old year, feet in the new.
- 228
- 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,520
- We were gonna write to the Pope
- to ask what year you were born in.
- 229
- 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,520
- We can't be listening to stories
- with the baby Jesus on the table.
- 230
- 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,400
- The night you were born,
- it was bitterly cold.
- 231
- 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,040
- So cold that the midwife kept her coat on.
- 232
- 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,520
- <span style="style.default_1">She was young, in love,</span>
- 233
- 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,120
- <span style="style.default_1">with the new year</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">and a new suitor waiting.</span>
- 234
- 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,120
- <span style="style.default_1">But what no one knew</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">was that my own heart was breaking.</span>
- 235
- 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,440
- Happy New Year.
- 236
- 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:05,080
- Why was your heart breaking, Mam?
- 237
- 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,920
- Your father.
- 238
- 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,240
- Go in and meet your sister, boys.
- 239
- 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760
- <span style="style.default_1">Your father didn't want the baby</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">being born into a cold house.</span>
- 240
- 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,040
- Hi, babba.
- 241
- 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:21,080
- <span style="style.default_1">So he went out</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">to get coal for the fire.</span>
- 242
- 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,320
- <span style="style.default_1">I got word shortly before Angela was born.</span>
- 243
- 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,480
- <span style="style.default_1">The guards locked</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">your father up in the Limerick jail</span>
- 244
- 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,400
- <span style="style.default_1">for trying to take a few lumps of coal</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">off the back of the fuel cart.</span>
- 245
- 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,080
- <span style="style.default_1">Sure, he was just trying to do</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">the right thing,</span>
- 246
- 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,360
- <span style="style.default_1">just trying to warm the house.</span>
- 247
- 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,440
- <span style="style.default_1">It should have been</span>
- <span style="style.default_1">one of the happiest days of our lives.</span>
- 248
- 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,560
- <span style="style.default_1">Instead, my heart was broken in pieces.</span>
- 249
- 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:03,840
- <span style="style.default_1">But then...</span>
- 250
- 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,680
- In you go, Pat.
- 251
- 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920
- <span style="style.default_1">Together, we were warm.</span>
- 252
- 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,440
- <span style="style.default_1">Because that is what families do.</span>
- 253
- 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200
- <span style="style.default_1">They shelter each other from the storm.</span>
- 254
- 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,200
- <span style="style.default_1">They bring joy where there is sadness,</span>
- 255
- 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,920
- <span style="style.default_1">warmth where there is none.</span>
- 256
- 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,400
- Your father wasn't proud
- of his actions that night,
- 257
- 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,360
- but when he heard
- how you boys minded your mother,
- 258
- 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,800
- when he saw his baby daughter
- for the first time,
- 259
- 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,720
- he was the proudest man in Limerick.
- 260
- 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,800
- I miss Dadda.
- 261
- 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,720
- I know you do, Pat. We all do.
- 262
- 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080
- He needs to go home.
- 263
- 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,920
- -Angela?
- -I just need to do one thing.
- 264
- 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,560
- What is she doing, Mam?
- 265
- 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,400
- - Come on!
- - Huh?
- 266
- 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,520
- Angela, wait.
- 267
- 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,080
- - Will you come on?
- - Boys, coats.
- 268
- 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,760
- Come on.
- 269
- 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,720
- You'll have me above in St. Jeremiah's
- with your messin'.
- 270
- 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,880
- What if we're caught, Angela?
- 271
- 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,520
- We'll be fine, Pat. Come on.
- 272
- 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,480
- And then, He let out a sneeze.
- 273
- 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,560
- A sneeze so small and heavenly,
- 274
- 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,600
- only an angel could have made it.
- 275
- 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,800
- A sneezy miracle!
- 276
- 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,200
- And then, then--
- 277
- 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,000
- Didn't the Baby Jesus Himself
- only go and thank the both of us?
- 278
- 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,040
- Amazing!
- 279
- 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,800
- Quick.
- 280
- 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,240
- Come on.
- 281
- 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,000
- Oh, you've broken it.
- 282
- 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,520
- Sorry.
- 283
- 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,400
- - Sorry, Father.
- - Guard, we have the thief.
- 284
- 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,880
- But, but...
- 285
- 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,160
- No, no, no, no.
- She was only warming the baby Jesus.
- 286
- 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,440
- You won't put my sister in jail.
- You won't.
- 287
- 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,320
- You can put <span style="style.default_1">me </span>in the Limerick jail.
- 288
- 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,880
- He was cold in the crib,
- so I took him home to warm him up.
- 289
- 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,160
- Well, then.
- 290
- 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,880
- It looks like we've no choice
- but to lock you up
- 291
- 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,840
- for the taking of... "one baby Jesus."
- 292
- 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,520
- And on his birthday, of all things.
- 293
- 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,680
- I fail to see
- how this is a laughing matter.
- 294
- 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,600
- You're right, Father.
- 295
- 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,800
- There is nothing funny
- about taking a child,
- 296
- 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,040
- any child-- away from his family
- on Christmas Eve.
- 297
- 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,160
- Wait.
- 298
- 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:10,480
- You'll need this...
- 299
- 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,120
- or you'll catch your death.
- 300
- 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,720
- Thank you.
- 301
- 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,360
- Goodbye.
- 302
- 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600

- - Thanks, Pat.
- 303

- - Thanks.

- Happy Christmas!
- 307
