(Christmas in an old Village)

Y Parch J.J. Williams

This talk is in the nature of a Christmas present to the old folks in Wales, giving them memories of Christmas in a Welsh village over fifty years ago.
Mr. Williams will describe old customs, such as spoiling the toffee (cyflaith), story-telling, carol-singing, rivalry with a neighbouring village for possession of a favourite holly tree, and other incidents of a Merry Christmas in the days when the peat fire and the rush candle were still used.
