    1 On St Stephen's Day he boys of the district disguise themselves with old clothes and rizardo, and go from house to house, and they play music, and dance, and then the people give them money.
    2 On Hollowe'en night some of the people go and take their neighbour's gates and hide them in the hedges, and drains, and others throw things at the door, and tie them so that the people cannot get out.
