The Ghastly Christmas Caroling of the Mari Lwyd

The Mari Lwyd is a Welsh tradition where a hobby horse is dressed up and paraded around town. The party stops at each house to sing a traditional song or rhyme a verse, and the occupant has to respond. The horse itself is part of a long tradition in the British Isles of using hobby horses in various traditions. It's not exactly a Christmas tradition, because Mari Lwyd happens on Twelfth Night. But we can surmise that it originated through a combination of winter festivals originally inspired by Saturnalia. What happens on Mari Lwyd?
