Light up A Life Day is a holiday held every year on December 5 in Ireland. It takes place close to Christmas right when Christmas lights are going up. The holiday is an opportunity for people to put up lights that honor loved ones they may have lost. The day is a celebration of life and a great way to remember those who have left us. It helps to keep the memories alive and provides emotional relief for anyone who may be grieving during the holidays. The holidays are a time we usually set aside to spend with the people we love. When those people are gone, it can be very difficult to cope. Commemorating them with others makes it easier.
