Christmas Customs in Wales.


The Mari Lwyd.
A horse-figure was carried from door to door by a group of Mari Lwyd singers. Although now extinct in most parts of Wales, it is still performed in some parts of Glamorgan, where it is not yet completely extinct. The group would often be invited into the house, where they would be given food, beer or money and then entertain the household with a farewell song.
