    put up the holly on the walls. On Christmas eve the people light candles and they put a candle to each window and they put one on the table. On Christmas day the people have a big dinner of a goose. It is not right to leave your own house on Christmas night. It is right to leave the door opened on Christmas day. Next day is wren boy's day and the boys go around honouring the wren.
