   1. Large candles are lighted in all windows on Christmas Night - to give light to wanderers - in memory of the Holy Family seeking lodging on the first Christmas Night.

   2. Twelve small candles are burned on little Christmas Night - the twelfth night - in hour of the twelve days of Christmas.

   3. Wren boys go around on St. Stephen's Day singing the verse :-
   The Wren the Wren the king of all birds.
   St. Stephen's Night was caught in the furze.
   Tho' she is poor, her family is great.
   Arise, Your Lordship and us a "thrate".
   This hunting of the wren is supposed to be in punishment of the telling that Our Lady and the Child had passed on a certain road at the Flight into Egypt.
   The wren said "Indhé indhé", when the reapers had just said they passed when the corn was being sown and it was now ready for cutting (It grew and ripened in one night.)
