Queer Custom Observed in Herefordshire Ox Cake
In England a peculiar Christmas Eve custom involved farmers and servants procuring a large cake, sticking a pole through it, and fastening it on an ox horn while reciting a formula promising the master a good corn crop. The cake’s fate decided its ownership: if the ox tossed it behind, the men claimed it. if it pitched it forward, the boys did.
