    "Santa Claus" comes to every house with presents. St. Stephen's day occurs on the next day. Most of us go around to the neighbouring villages and we gather pennies to bury the wren. On Christmas day we catch the wren and not without trouble. The little boys always say a short rhyme when they are getting the pennies.
    16th November 1937
