Tis the season to huddle around family, friends and community, but what of those who are exiled far from home? Many Irish people spend Christmas overseas, some by choice, others through necessity, but one group do so in the interests of keeping peace. Ireland’s defence forces personnel are based in various hotspots, but particularly the Middle East. So what is Christmas like for them, and their families at home? Irish Examiner columnist Colin Sheridan has extensive experience serving overseas and he tells us what it’s like at this time of year.
