    Festivals Customs.
    In olden times the people used to have great feasts. On Christmas Eve the people have candles on (there windows) and their house decorated with holly ivy. On St Stephen's Day all the boys dress up and go round from house to house looking for money. Sometimes the girls go out on St Stephen's Day.
    Some of the boys have a wren on their stucts and some have a cage for her.
