The special form of asking for Christmas-boxes generally runs in rhyme, and varied in different parts of the country. That in Leeds, which is bellowed in a quick, hoarse voice through the keyhole, is:
I wish you a merry Kersmas,
A happy New Year,
A pocket full of money,
A barrel full o' beer,
A big fat pig to serve you all t'year,
Please will you give us my Kersmas-box.
