14 Have you ever heard of Mummers Plays? A traditional play that dates back to Roman times, Mumming became a huge thing in Medieval England. Traditionally, on St. Thomas' Day (the shortest day of the year) men and women would swap clothes, put on masks, and go around visiting neighbors singing, dancing, or putting on a silly play. The leader of the group dressed up as Father Christmas.

There were different customs of entertainments in different parts of the UK. In the North and West (Durham, Yorkshire and Devon) people also performed a sword dance.

Here's a famous Mumming Poem, which I personally remember as a more modern Christmas song that they sung on my mom's "Christmas on the Ponderosa" with the cast of Bonanza album from the late 70's :)

----
Christmas is coming, the beef is getting fat,
Please drop a penny in the old mans hat.

Over the years, this was changed into a very similar poem that is said by some carol singers today:

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old mans hat.

Here's a video about a modern-day Mumming group in Ireland that you might enjoy.
