Dublin’s festive season began as the Christmas lights illuminated Grafton Street, activated by two young guests from the Little Blue Heroes charity. Four-year-old Áine Nolan and eight-year-old Alyssa Reeves switched on the lights from Bewley’s Café balcony, following a delightful meeting with Santa Claus. Their families emphasized the significance of the event, particularly for Alyssa, who faces challenges due to her disability, making this moment especially magical for her. The initiative, organized by Dublin Town, highlights community spirit and the joy of celebrating Christmas together.
