Days leading to NovembertideEdit
Several weeks prior to Novembertide, on 8 November "November season" begins.[3] On this day, two unnatural criminals are beheaded by the Grand Executioner on the Lychgate.[4] Afterwards, families would gather in parlours and sing traditional Novembertide songs, such as "The Peal of Old Paul's," around the piano.[5]
Exchanging of giftsEdit
When Novembertide arrives, people exchange gifts, remembering how lucky they are to be a part of "the natural order."[6]
