Those dwelling inside would be expected to sing in return, denying them entry. The two sides would continue in this manner until hopefully the householders relented and welcomed them in for food and drink. This would happen around the Solstice, Christmas and New Year. These days the Mari Lywd can be seen at many pagan events, throughout the year and interests in these old land based customs begin to seep back into our culture.
