"Christmas Eve at Mulligan's" by Marie Irish is a heartwarming play written in the early 20th century. This charming work captures the spirit of Christmas as it revolves around the Mulligan family's anticipation of a very special holiday, driven by their hope for a joyous reunion with their son, Dannie, who is undergoing eye surgery. The play highlights themes of family, love, sacrifice, and the true meaning of Christmas beyond material gifts. The story unfolds in the Mulligan household on Christmas Eve, where parents Peter and Nora Mulligan share their worries about being unable to provide gifts for their children, Rosie, Katie, and the newly operated Dannie.
