Feasts of the Year
On November's Night the young children have great fun ducking for apples and money
They get three saucers they put clay in one water in another and a ring in another.
If you would put your hand in clay you would die soon
If you would put your hand in water you would cross the sea soon.
If you would put it in the ring you would get married soon
New Year's Day is a day every one should be happy. The woman of the house has to open the door first in the morning.
