About: During the Christmas season in Wales, the Mari Lwyd is accompanied by two other characters (often a jester and lady) and goes door to door asking permission through song to enter the house. Those within the house reply with song (in the form of rhymes) and this goes on until one side relents. If the Mari Lwyd gains entry, she and her handlers are given food and drink, and it is said that the household will have good luck for the year.
