  1. Christmas Night

    Share Share Post
    About seventy years ago, the people used to have an oatmeal cake, backed on a griddle, for all the animals that night.
    They gave a piece of the cake to each animal. The people believed that if they did^ this, that some of their cattle would die, during the year.
