- Long ago the boys used to go around on St. Stephen's day with the mummers. They used to get old coats and turn them inside out they used to get big tall hats they used to put feathers in them. They used to get straw ropes and they used to put them on their feet. They used to get sticks and go around from house to house and dance and sing songs and play music and then they used to get money from the people of the house.
