<h3>Christmas carols really do help ramp up the festive vibe and that&#8217;s exactly what local schools did this week.</h3>
<p>On Monday, Fossa National School pupils brought their voices&nbsp;together for their Christmas carol singing session with local musicians Padraig Buckley, Maria Falvey, teacher Marie McSweeney and Kirill Healy in&nbsp;Fossa Community Centre. And this year they&nbsp;were joined by&nbsp;Ukraine children who learned some tunes and excitedly sang along.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In town on Tuesday students from&nbsp;St Brendan&#8217;s College gathered at&nbsp;Market Cross creating a lovely&nbsp;atmosphere for those out Christmas shopping.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The group raised&nbsp;€2,350 for St Vincent de Paul which was&nbsp;the largest amount since the event was started by Tim Gleeson and Paul Barden 21 years ago.</p>
