Christmas in the Mansion House

Christmas is always a very exciting time in the Mansion House with lots happening!

Decorating the Mansion HouseThe Mansion House is decorated with two Christmas trees – one on the forecourt and one in the entrance hall. We decorate the trees and also decorate the fi replacesto give the rooms a lovely Christmassy feel.

Christmas day in the Mansion HouseThe Lord Mayor, Naoise Ó Muirí and Lady Mayoressattend midnight mass in the Pro-Cathedral in Dublinon Christmas Eve.

The Lord Mayor’s daughters, who are 6 and 4, have written to Santa and told him that they are living in the Mansion House for the year. Santa Claus visits the Mansion House through the big chimney in the entrance hall. Hopefully they have been good girls and will fi nd some lovely presents there on Christmas morning!

The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress visit Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin and the Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street on Christmas morning. They travel on to the RDS to spend some time at the Christmas Day Dinner for the homeless and then they head home to their family and have Christmas dinnerin the Mansion House.

Christmas events in the Mansion HouseSome charities use the Mansion House as a venue for Christmas carol concerts and we have lots of lovely singing while we do our work.

Live Animal CribEvery year we have the Live Animal Crib on the forecourt. The donkeys, sheep and goats are kindly donated to us by the Irish Farmers Association and are looked after by their owner every day. Lots of people come into the city to visit the animals and it is a real Christmas tradition for Dubliners. We also have carol singing at the Live Animal Crib at weekends and lots of people join in! If you are lucky you will see the Lord Mayor leading the carolling! The Live Animal Crib raises a lot of money for the Mansion House Fuel Fund, which donates money to charities who help those in need in Dublin, including the Simon Community and St. Vincent de Paul.

This spring, Dublin will be reading the Nightmare Club books and we hope you will too. The Nightmare Club is a series of six short, scary books. The books feature 12 year-old Annie Graves, who invites boys and girls to join her sleepover club, where everyone who sleeps over has to tell a scary story.

The six books are not in any order, so if you like one you can read another. The books, which feature brilliant illustrations, are: Help! My Brother’s A Zombie, Guinea Pig Killer, Mirrored, A Dog’s Breakfast, The Wolfl ing’s Bite and Frankenkids.

There will be author and illustrator visits to public libraries and schools as well as city-centre based events to promote this campaign. These well-illustrated books will appeal to both girls and boysof mixed reading abilities.

Remember to log onto www.dublincityofl iterature.ie,where you can fi nd out more details about this exciting campaign. The books will be available to borrow from Dublin City Public Libraries.

‘Dublin’s READING the Nightmare Club’ is a project organised by Dublin UNESCO City of Literature and Dublin City Libraries, in conjunction with the publisher Little Island, and will run from Januaryto March 2013.

What is on this winter in Dublin

The French Impressionist artist Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) loved painting outside in the open air. Monet had a unique painting style and became known as an ‘Impressionist’. The name ‘Impressionist’ was taken from the title of his painting, ‘Impression, Sunrise’. His work has an unfi nished look, which was very different from the paintings of artists who lived before him. Monet avoided using the colour black to show shadows and he believed there were no lines in nature. As a result, he painted wonderfully colourful scenes and used lively brush strokes to capture the feeling of the moment.

Sometimes he would paint the same scene over and over again, but at different times of the day and the year, trying to capture the changing shadows and light.

This painting shows the village of Lavacourt under a blanket of snow. The snow is a blue colour, perhaps because it is either early morning or evening is approaching. To the left is the River Seine, with two boats moored at the riverbank.

2. Why do you think Monet painted the snow blue? Does the colour blue make you feel warm or cold?

3. How would you go about reproducing this effect?

Christmas trees are usually a type of evergreen tree called fi r trees. The custom of decorating the Christmas tree with bright lights and ornaments has become one of the most well-known holiday traditions. We bring Christmas trees into our homes and hang Christmas wreaths on our doors as a symbol and reminder that the darkness and cold of winter will end and the green of spring will return.

Fire Safety Week Art Competition WinnersEvery year Dublin Fire Brigade organises an art competition during

Fire Safety Week. This year Fire Safety Week ran from the 1st – 5th October 2012. All schoolsin Dublin were sent information on the fi re safety art competition asking children to participate.

The theme was ‘Fire Safety is your Safety’. The winning pictures will be used to create the2013 Dublin Fire Brigade Calendar. Well done to all who entered the competition.

Dogs Are Wonderful Pets!

Dog Litter

Wouldn’t it be great if dogs cleaned up after themselves? Unfortunately they cannot – so it is the person in charge of the dog who is responsible for cleaning up. Dog owners should always clean up after their pets but sadly, some do not. It is not nice and it is one of the most unpleasant types of litter on our streets.

Dog poo is illegal!

You cannot stop your dog fouling in a public place, butdid you know it is against the law not to clean up the poo?If you fail to remove it you could receive an on-the-spotfi ne of €150, or a fi ne of €4,000 in court.

You can report an offence by ringing the Litter Hotline –1800 251 500.

Old dog poo can be a health hazard!

Fresh doggie poo is not dangerous and there is no risk of picking up an infection if it is cleaned up straight away. Butit does become a risk after 2-3 weeks. So young children can be put at risk of infection if dog poo is not cleaned up in public parks, playgrounds, beaches and footpaths. This is the main reason that dog owners should clean up after their pets.

Scoop the poop!

It is easy to be responsible and do the right thing. The person who is walking the dog should always carry a small plastic bag or poop scoop with them. Tie a knot in the bag and pop it in a litter bin or takeit home for disposal.

You could train your dog to do the poo in your own garden, which makes it easier for you to clean up after them.

Dog dirt ruins the environment!

Please be a responsible dog owner – bag it and binit – you would not like to put your foot in it, and neither would anyone else!

Dogs are great companions and many of us keep them as pets. However, if you own a dog you do have responsibilities.
