- Every November's night it is said that the fairies go around to every house. In the olden times the people used to cut heads of cabbage and leave them outside the doors. They also used to get turnips and go around pegging the doors. The old women used to make pancakes and they used to put a ring in it and whoever would get the ring they used to say that they would be the first to get married.
