@cuppa.tea.mon.cherie: Mari Lwyd is an ancient Welsh Tradition around Christmas celebration time, where Mari Lwyd turns up to your door with her gang of singers and they indulge in a ritual called pwnco: an exchange of rude rhymes with the person who lives there. If the Mari and her gang get entry she can come inside and take your food and beer, the household is said to have good luck for the year. The Mari is well-known to be mischievous – trying to steal things and chase people she likes – as she goes about her bidding. #wales #welshtradition #welshtraditions #marilwyd #horseskull #singing #welshsongs #pwnco
