- The people do have a lot of customs on Christmas night. They do leave the door opened and put a lighted candle on every window. Long ago they had no blackcake and they used to leave some of the potatoes for diging. They used to dig them on Chrismas night and they used to make potatoes cakes instead of a blackcake.
