    Little Christmas night big lighted candles are placed in the windows, one in every window in the house, to show that there is welcome and shelter for any poor traveller that is going around.
    The people whitewash their houses and decorate the walls with holly.
    On the 12th night all the water in the world is changed in to wine at 12 o'clock.
