Some batches carry a holy bush in which there is supposed to be a dead wren. Others carry a box in which there is supposed to be a dead wren. Usually they have musical instruments such as melodions or mouth-organs, and they come into the kitchen and play these. Sometimes the party dance, or sing a song.
