- New Year's Day is another great feast and it falls on the 1st January. It is a Holiday of Obligation and it occurs during the Twelve Days of Christmas. Numerous crowds of men called "Mummers" go out on that day and they go around from house to house singing and dancing and gathering money. It is only the big men that disguise themselves, who are called "Mummers."
