merry-making

There is now no dancing nor merry-making up at Montmartre, the real artists' quarter.

If there are relatives or friends who have no Christmas trees of their own they are often invited to join in the merry-making.

The May Day merry-making was stopped and even the Gild festival prohibited.

One day there was a festival at Mokran, and no merry-making was ever complete without the piper.

The sword of judgment will find them in their merry-making and will change all into weeping and gnashing of teeth.
