Christmas Superstitions
  • January 6 is the date when Christmas decorations should come down. Supertitions say that it is bad luck to leave it for another day or take it down before that date.
  • If you are under the mistletoe with someone of the opposite sex, you should be kissed. Otherwise, you will both have bad luck.
  • At midnight on Christmas Eve, all the doors of the house should be opened to let out evil spirits.
New Year Superstitions
  • You must eat something leafy and green on New Year's Day. That will bring you money or riches during the year, and you won't have to worry about paying bills.
  • Your house should be clean and there should be no dirty clothes in the house on New Year's Day. This is for good luck.
  • The first person to come into your house on New Year's Day should be a man. Anything else is bad luck.
  • A candle should be placed in a window to burn all night long from 12 o'clock midnight. This will guarantee the household's luck for another year.
My family has practiced some of these superstitions and some other ones as well. What are some Holiday Superstitions that your family practices?
