It’s the final countdown to Christmas and there are a few things you may want to do instead of shopping and wrapping.
For one thing, the Notre Dame Ladies Gaelic Football Club is having an Ugly Sweater Party at Paddy Rooney’s pub in Havertown on Saturday night. There will be prizes for the best. . .er, ugliest sweater. The event raises money for the footballers.
Also on Saturday, catch Bob Hurst of the Bogside Rogues at Reedy’s Irish Pub Christmas party, 9245 Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia.
Then, on Sunday, the Shantys are holding a “Verry Merry Shantys Revue” at Pub36, 7681 Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia.
