It doesn't sound too bad at all!
Met Éireann has released the forecast for the festive break, and there's good news and bad news.
According to the forecast, Christmas Day ''looks like being a cold and mainly dry day with some bright spells, but with the possibility of rain developing in the west''. We'll take that.
Christmas eve meanwhile ''will be cold with sunny spells and a good deal of dry weather, but a few showers also. Highest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees. It also looks like there'll be frost on Christmas Eve night''.
