Rhyme of Wren (Cont'd) The cup was made of an old oak tree Fill it up an' give it to me Altho' its' little and your family's great Stand up landlady an' give us a taste If yer money is anyway slack Give us a cut of yer barn brack, The road is long and my boots are thin I have a little pocket to carry things in The head of a herring, the king of the say, Put your hand in your pocket + let us away Up with the kettle, an' down with the pan Give us a penny to bury the ram.

Christmas Customs

Christmas Customs
On Christmas Eve the people of the Fishery and Brook Gardens light a red candle in the window of their houses, and leave it burning all night.
Few of them too leave on a good fire, and don't lock or bolt their doors on this night.
