Mummering in Newfoundland

For our last challenge before returning to BC, we travelled to Newfoundland.  There is a tradition in Newfoundland, especially around Christmastime, of mummering.  Mummering, most common in smaller rural communities, involves dressing up in silly clothes and visiting neighbours to sing, dance, and tell jokes.  The host has to guess who is in disguise and serve them some food and drink

For our mummering we dressed up in disguise and burst into classrooms up and down the hallway, dancing and having fun.  Lots of classes thought we were crazy, but we left them a note explaining mummering, and we had lots of fun!
