Christmas in Ireland-Suggestions

My husband and I have planned to spend the up-coming Christmas holiday in Ireland. We have booked a self-catering cottage in Wicklow for one week (with arrival on December 20) and then plan to do meander about for the days leading up to our departure on December 30. We were curious if anyone had any recommendations of things to do around the holidays while there. We have been to Ireland twice before; however, never during the Christmas holiday. Any local celebrations or events would be perfect! Thanks for any advice or suggestions!

I was told by a local shopkeeper Christmas is not the big deal there that is in the US. It is a religious holiday. We were looking for a Christmas ornament for a souvenir and got into a discussion about holidays.
