  1. Festival Customs - Christmas

    Share Share Post
    Christmas.
    On Christmas Eve the people always leave a light burning in the house to give light to Our Lord.
    The old people would not let water be thrown out or let delph be broken on Christmas Day because it was thought that it would bring bad luck to the house
