Lá an Dreoilín

Ag fás suas in Éirinn na cianta ó shin níor chuaia mé riamh faoi 'Boxing Day'. Ba é Lá 'le Stíofáin nó 'Lá an Dreoilín' nó the 'Wran Day' an lá tar éis Lá Nollag.

Ar an lá sin feistithe mar ainmhithe théadh. na stócairí timpeall an bhaile ag bailiú airgid a cheannódh ól insna tithe tábhairn.

Tá úrscéal ag John B Keane, 'the Bodhrán Makers' faoi Lá an Dreoilín.

Domhan nach maireann an lá atá inniu ann, ach bíonn saghas ceiliúraidh i mBleáth Cliath gach bliain.

Níor thaitin an nós seo leis na sagairt mar, dúirt siad, gur nós págánach é. 

Dúirt siad freisin gur leathscéal dul ar meisce a bhí ann.

Growing up in Ireland years ago I never heard of 'Boxing Day'. The day following Christmas Day was 'St Stephens Day' or 'the Wran Day'.

On that day young men dressed in animal costumes went around the town collecting money that would buy drink in the Pubs.

They said also it was an excuse to get drunk.

Lá an Dreoilín

Ag fás suas in Éirinn fadó ba Lá 'le Stíofáin nó Lá an Dreoilín an lá tar éis Lá Nollag.

Níor mhaith leis na sagairt Lá an Dreoilín. Dúirt siad gur nós Págánach a bhí ann.

Ar Lá an Dreoilín chuaigh na fir óga, gléasta mar ainmhithe, timpeall an bhaile ag bailiú airgid.

Chaith siad an t-airgead ag ól sa teach tábhairne

The Priests didn't like the 'Wran Day' because they said it was pagan. 

On the Wran Day men dressed in animal costumes went around the town collecting money.

They spent the money in the Pub
