With regard to Ireland, people are moving away from the Church but it seems to me they still want their babies baptised, their kids to take Holy Communion and Confirmation, and have weddings in church so even though they might not be religious they are still following some traditions

In Poland Christmas Eve is a big thing. You eat sparsely during the day, but then in the evening, once the first star appears, you have Christmas Eve supper. Traditionally 12 dishes
although that's only aspiration not a must. All vegetarian: fish few ways, two or three soups, savouries and sweet dishes. And booze. Then midnight mass. After midnight you can eat meat and I'd always visit the fridge after mass and have a cut of ham or a dried sausage
