I wish you peace, happiness, love, and good tidings during this time and all times. Whether you are religious or not as I know many may not be, I wish the same for all my friends and even those that aren't.

An Irish Blessing

Go n-éiri an bóther leat.
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl.
Go lonrai an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh.
Go dtite an bhtháisteach go min ar do phtháirceanna.
Agus go mbuailimid le chthéile aris, go gcoinni Dia i mbos A ltháimhe thú.

(May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall gently upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.)

-myself

p.s. enjoy your life

I don't know any blessings for instruments, maybe I will make some one day, but bless everyone's music, instruments, ears, and souls.

Bless every note, trill, sound, breath, the lot of it with wonder and beauty.

I have very little Irish; I had a friend who was starting to teach me at one point and our jobs changed stopping my progress cold after just a few lessons.

That said, and I hope I say this right,

Tá tú go han mhaith, ar fad.

Nollaig Shona Duit.

How do you say "Shalom!" in Gaeligh??

May peace and comfort come to you and yours this season and carry on throughout your life!

I make absolutely no claim to having spelled that even remotely correctly.

"Shalom"?
As far as I know, it means "Hello", "Bye" or "Peace"

Well since it is Christmas Eve (though is supposed to be during the harvest time) I thought it was time to bring this back

"Shalom" is peace in Hebrew. The Irish equivalent would be "síocháin leat" (to one person) or "síocháin libh" (to multiple people). Literally "peace with you."

Pronounced roughly "SHEE-uh-khan lat/SHEE-uh-khan liv"

Síocháin libhse go léir, anois is go deo!
