   St Stephen's Day
   On St. Stephen's day all the boys and girls of our district go around with the "wran". The "wran" consists of a bit of holly, a feather for a wren, but sometimes the real wren is carried round. The boys put a piece of cloth on their face so that they would not be known. They dance and sing at each house, they also say "Something" for the little wran". Most people give them money and for that money they buy a football between them.
