  2. Special Feast Days

    November Night is for playing all sorts of tricks. They used to be kicking cabbage and then they used make a cake and put a ring in it and whoever would get the ring would get married first. Then they would make a pot of "calley" and eat some of it and then they would leave a plate up on the table for the fairies.
