THE FOLENS CHRISTMAS annuals played a massive role in the school days of Irish people during their school days.
When you got your hands on Siamsa or Spraoí, you knew Christmas was coming and if you were lucky your teacher let you do a couple of pages a day.
Well, not much has changed, the annuals continue to be produced, and in fact, this year they have all had to be reprinted due to exceptionally high demand.
We contacted Folens, and they said that the annuals have maintained their popularity in the 43 years that they’ve been available, but this year they have proven exceptionally popular.
T’would warm the cockles of even the blackest heart.
