Wren Boys are back in town and in flying form for celebrations.

Dublin and Dingle mentioned in this, but many more around the country.

Meant to post this yesterday for St. Stephen's Day - this wren was one of two foraging for food in the Burren on a frosty morning a couple of weeks ago

For the day that is in it, The Bodhrán Makers is the best Irish book about Lá An Dreoilín from the legend himself John B. Keane.

another alternative take on traditional Christmas music, perhaps my favourite version. It is linked in my mind with the film of the same name. I'll look up that reference.

Happy !
( if you’re British 😏).

I wonder if anyone still goes door-to-door with the Wren? Decades ago, our house in Connemara had a visit by a pack of boisterous wren-boys.

I regret not being able to see what they had in their cage. Was it an effigy? A real bird? Was it dead? 🤔

The visit carried a hint of threat that has been lost in modern trick-or-treating and caroling. They got their “penny for the Wren”, that’s for sure.😁
