- (continued from previous page)Years Night they used put a curse on the English by throwing a basin of water at the door from the inside and saying "Mo Mhallacht ar na Sasanaig." They used throw a cake from the outside to have plenty for the year.
On St. Stephens day the boys go out singing the wren and they make alot of money. It is an old custom and it is right the right thing to have it kept up. On little Christmas night all the water is changed into wine at twelve o'clock. If you would stop up watching it it you would die.
New Year's night is called Oidhche Chínn Bliadhna or Oidhche Coille new years day is called Lá Coille.
