Abstract:

Of all the survivals of folk celebrations in North Carolina, non none excites more curiosity and interest than Old Christmas at Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. Though the customary December date is now recognized and honored in the typical, expected fashion, the Rodanthians have not abandoned the custom of their forefathers in signalizing January 5 as the \"real\" Christmas.
