    In the winter nights there is "visiting". A lot of children go to a house where there are playing cards. They play-cards, they have great sport. They leave pennies on the table and the person that wins the games, gets the money too. Other times we play "dallog". One person puts a cloth on his eyes. The rest of the children walks silently around the house. Then the person with the "dallog" tries to catch them. The person that is caught has to put on the "dallog" on his eyes.
