Love those Newfoundland and Ireland connections. Makes me eager to get back there more than ever!

We have this tradition in rural communities in Ireland and it is still alive and well today. We call it the Wren Boys and Dingle, Kerry has an annual parade 26 December. I have been fortunate to experience it in East Clare.We have recently moved to Newfoundland and hope to take part next Christmas:)

Most awesome Wish I was around for that! A friend of mine actually had a “mini mummers” party for her daughter and friends over the holidays, which was also quite entertaining to look at via pictures on facebook…

Oh man, so awesome compared to the drinks in St. John’s. I feel like a rich person at home.

Happy Mummering indeed! Such a crazy cool tradition. Enjoy the “dude”-ness of those $2.50 white russians too. That’s pretty baller.
