December, gather together in the village with their tinpans and kettles.

As
the clock strikes midnight they march around the village beating their tincans,
pans
kettles, and the playing of whistles.
Their
screaming, bellowing and caterwauling shattering the nights peace, as they perform this
age old custom to drive out evil spirits.
