Egloskerry held their first ever Christmas Tree Festival on the first weekend in December. The

highlight had to be the floating tree in the chancel, suspended from the ceiling. Every group or

individual who contributed to the success of the weekend created trees to reflect their focus. The

Gardening Club employed miniature watering cans and carrots as decorations, the Knitting Bee an

array of (knitted) buzzing bees climbing a trellis of wood and ivy, the Skittles’ Tree was covered in

tiny skittles, and so on…. Refreshments were served over the three days the festival ran and funds

were raised to help finance the re-roofing of the slates slipping due to the age of the nails. I wonder

if anyone managed to compute the total number of trees displayed?
