  1. All the schools are closed for Christmas. We are delighted when we get our holidays. All people in every job get some holidays what ever length of time they are.
    On the first night of Christmas candles are lighted in every window. It is the youngest in the house that lights them. At six o'clock in they used to have potatoes and "pound" fish on new years morning and then they used have the big supper. It is said that if you would not eat enough on new years night that you would not eat enough for the year.
