  1. Festival Customs

    Share Share Post
    On the 26th. December crowds of boys and men collect and go around from house to house in a procession and they have a holly bush decorated with all kinds of coloured papers.
    They sing the Wren-song and whatever money they make during the day, they share it at the end of the day.
