Lovely Leitrim in all its festive glory

The last of the turkey has been eaten in most houses and many have now returned to work and attention is rapidly turning towards the next big celebration that will welcome in the new year.

Before the big countdown on Sunday night we decided to take a look at some of the festive pictures that were posted online from throughout the county in recent days.

While there were plenty of pictures of newly opened presents, overjoyed children and delicious dinners, there were stunning images of the Leitrim landscape which capture the county in all its beauty.
