    Some people play tricks at Christmas also.
    Here are some;
    Before Christmas the men gather to gether and go round from house singing:- they are called Mummers.
    The children like to do some thing, they hand up their stockings, and Santa Clause fills them with toys, this is done on Christmas Eve night when they are in bed.
    Most people make a pudding for Christmas day and send cards and presents to one another.
