The people tidy up the house for Christmas Eve. The girls tidy the house. They wash all the furniture. The polish the rooms and the parlour. The boys gather the holly. The girls put it up all round the house and in the rooms they put it over doors on the windows and on the walls.
They have a great feast on Christmas Night. They have a lot of sweet cakes, jam and wine. They also have a big Christmas candle for each room and one for the kitchen.
