Summary

It takes a village to tell this joyous send-up of a holiday/variety show in the small village of Spiddal*, Ireland. Shay Duffin tells the heartwarming tale of his sixth Christmas Eve, when his missing-in-action brother returned to Dublin at midnight to surprise his whole family during World War II. Irish limericks, songs, and even a visit from an American Yankee, Santa Claus.   
(*Spiddal was the name of a village in Ireland, because there was a Hospital there.) 
  STARRING: MARTY MAGUIRE, SHAY DUFFIN, REDMOND GLEESON, PAUL KEITH, ELIZABETH McCLELLAN, MALA POWERS, TOM WILLIAMS, SAMANTHA EGGAR, LINDA HENNING, JAMES LANCASTER, JOHN O'CALLAGHAN, THOMAS MacGREEVY, AMELIA WHITE, KATHERINE DAVIS COX; WITH CART's Announcer, JOHN HARLAN; POEMS by TOM KERRIGAN; and WILLIAM WINDOM as Santa Claus.
