I do not advocate killing wrens! Build them a birdhouse instead.
Chinese and Koreans make great artificial wrens. Try one of the China state outlets aka craft stores and you will find them.

I do advocate enthusiastic celebration which seems to be lacking around these parts. One of the most difficult things about specializing in seasonal customs is having to live in suburbia in america where most Irish americans are simple turds who know nothing, will know nothing and have forgotten everything. There is nothing left but genetics.

Folk custom here-want to know what it is?
-endless shopping for junk (as there is nothing I want from any Mall)
-endless eating of prepared food that tastes like crap
-endless sitting in front of television sports until you fall asleep and beyond.

Had I the money I would travel during the holidays. No food, drink or song in the wasteland and no one turns up to eat or drink or partake of ours. At least with travel you can change the scene of the wasteland.

Simply does in door to door mumming as no one would want to turn up singing for what they would hand out. It would be probably lite beer and plastic cheese at best....

Oh well....

It just leaves more for us!
