    NOVEMBER EVE;
    We crack nuts and eat apples. We dive into water for apples and snap them from the ceiling. If the Barrow is full it is said that the barns would not hold the corn that year,
    TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS;
    We clean the house. We make a plum pudding and a Christmas cake. On Christmas Eve we kill a turkey. We light a Christmas candle and put it near the window.

    Boys go around begging for money. They are called wren boys.
