It was a tradition for us to decorate the Christmas tree with wrens, their legs being attached by "spring" clips to the boughs. Oh, the cats really like them, too 😆
Very cool feature! As close as I live to Philly, I've never really known anything about what the Mummer's parade is. And nice to see Matt and friend providing music😊
Thank you for the history. This is the first I knew about Wren Day.

Never heard of this celebration. Remember studying St Stephen as a youngster in Sunday School. Just remember he was stoned.
Thank you. Lovely.
Wish we had this in America, so cool.
Intriguing, thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
