Superstition of the Week - Holiday Decorations



Holiday Decorations Superstitions

  • In Germany, the last ornament on the tree is a pickle shaped ornament. In the morning, the child who finds the Christmas pickle gets a special present.

  • Most homes were decorated on Christmas Eve to avoid the anger of capricious forces.

  • Traditionally, the doors of the home were thrown open at midnight on Christmas Eve to let the trapped evil spirits out.

  • The Christmas candle was left burning in a window all night to enlighten the path of the good luck for the coming year to the household.

  • Lucky birds are welcome on Christmas and signify good luck.

  • The first person to visit the household should bring the evergreens or coals with him and gets the privilege to kiss all the women of the house.

WISHING ALL A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!
