  1. St Stephen's Day

    Share Share Post
    On St. Stephen's day the boys of the town and country gather in little groups of three and four. They dress up in sorts of dresses of every color, and false of every shape and size. They also get a mouth organ. They go off, going from house to house, one plays and the others dance. The people of the house give them money. When evening comes they go home and divide the money.
