Would you let Mari Lwyd into your house?

Mari Lwyd is a tradition in Welsh culture.

At Christmastime, groups of people wander around town--led by a person hidden under a sheet, carrying a decorated horse skull on a pole.

Mari Lwyd and its entourage travel door to door.

At each house, Mari Lwyd requests entry through song.

If one does not wish for this holiday zombie ghost horse to enter, they have to say so through song.

If Mari Lwyd wins this song battle, then it and its entourage are allowed inside to join into the festivities.

If you live in Wales, are of Welsh descent, or are obsessed with Welsh culture, would you want Mari Lwyd to enter your house and join the party around this time of year?

If not, what Christmas song would you sing in order to try and best this ghostly holiday zombie horse?

What is your favorite color?

Okay...I just added this last question to make this three questions.

Celtic cultures are, after all, obsessed with the number three...and Wales is part of the Celtic cultural family.
