Welcome home: Families reunite for Christmas at Dublin Airport

Sniff.

IT’S THAT TIME of year: when families are reunited, loved ones meet again, and new babies get cuddled by their grandparents for the first time.

Christmas is about everyone getting together, and sometimes that involves trips across the world.

Dublin Airport has been buzzing with hugs, kisses and tears as people arrive after long journeys to spend the festive season with their loved ones.

Here are photos snapped at the airport today. No, you’re crying.
