- Saint Stephen's DaySaint Stephen's Day is the day after Xmas day. Some men find more fun out of Saint Stephen's day than any other day around Xmas. Men club together and decorate wren bushes. They then hire a motor car and bring their melodeons with them also mouth organs. Then they are off from town to town. When they are coming home they go into the nearest dance hall and they end the wren day in a merry mood.
