26 December - Wren Day in Ireland and the Isle of Man
The tradition is closely related to Hunt the Wren on the Isle of Man, and versions may have been practised across the British Isles in the past.
Wren Day, also known as Wren's Day, Day of the Wren, or Hunt the Wren Day, is an Irish celebration held on 26 December, St. Stephen's Day in a number of countries across Europe. The tradition consists of "hunting" a wren (now a fake wren but previously a real one) and putting it on top of a decorated pole. Then the crowds of mummers, or strawboys, celebrate the wren (also pronounced wran) by dressing up in masks, straw suits, and colourful motley clothing. They form music bands and parade through towns and villages. These crowds are sometimes called the wrenboys.
