It's fascinating to see which traditions stick, which evolve, and which are forgotten to time. I dismissed the mistletoe as holiday frippery, but it's still quite popular. I doubt anyone these days could describe a proper La Mas Ubhal without putting it to their smart telephone. I suppose the Christmas tree might persist, though it is quite young. Only three-hundred years before and someone would call you a Prussian barbarian if you thought it proper to hack up some arbor and decorate it with painted toys and sugar ornaments, but the Living seem to enjoy the notion now.
I suggest that those wishing to partake in the festivities take care to watch their belongings, and do not go out alone at night.
There are many who would take advantage of a merry soul, even in this Holy month.
