- St Stephens Day
The children and young men dress up in their oldest clothes, and they form a group, and go to the houses of their district. They provide themselves with musical instruments such as mouth organs, melodeons and violins. Some people go to other towns and they play music, and they get money from the people of the houses. The amount of money they get depends on the decency of the householder and the amount of music they play.
