As the majority of us recover from a day of indulgence, scores of traditionalists will be out and about early on today 'hunting the wren', but where does this unique boxing day pastime come from?
It heralds back to a Manx folklore, telling of a fairy queen by the name of 'Tehi Tegi' who would lure men to their watery end with her beauty.
When the locals plotted to punish her, legend has it she turned into a wren and flew away, hence the 'hunt the wren' title.
We spoke to Katie King from the Manx National Heritage, who said in years gone by Boxing Day was always the favourite day in the Manx festive calendar:
