- I have heard from the old people, even from my mother that it is unlucky to visit any persons house on Christmas Day. It was and is the custom for all people to stay in their own homes feasting and drinking.
On Christmas Eve it is the custom in every home to decorate the house with holly the origin of which I have not found out. We also place large candles lighted in the windows to guide the wanderer. for on the first Christmas Night our blessed Lady wandered hopelesslyseeking lodging. Before christmas a set of boys called "Mummers" go around to the houses of the people at night singing and dancing and saying rhymes one of which I have heard,
