Some of them are on New Year's night. The people throw cakes of bread at the door to keep out the hunger for the year. They think they will have no hunger then for that year. On Christmas day it was a custom by the old people and is kept in force in this place still to light a candle in every window and let the bolt off the door that night.

On St. Stephen's day it is another custom by the young and old boys to gather together five or six of them in every batch and dress up in rags. They used go to every house then singing the song of the wren.

   "The wren the wren the king of all birds
