The day has come…..
We are taking down the Christmas trees and all the Christmas decorations.
I remember when I was younger my Father said that if you left your Christmas decorations up any longer than 12 days after Christmas you were in for bad luck. So I’m getting it done one day early just to be safe 😀 😀
Growing up I remember hearing all sorts of superstitions. Here is just a short list which I still abide by today…..don’t want to take any chances 😀
- Don’t look at a the full moon through a pane of glass.
- If you spill salt (very bad omen) you must toss a bit over your left shoulder.
- If you put your shirt on backwards you must only pull your arms out and turn it to the right.
- A purse (or any other money holder) as a gift requires a little money inside. Given empty it causes bad financial luck.
- Never walk under a ladder, very bad luck will follow.
- If a black cat crosses your path… again not good. 😀
- Find a penny pick it up and all day long you’ll have good luck , or See a pin, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck, See a pin, let it lay, and your luck will pass away
- Bad luck comes in threes.
- Make a wish on a wishbone
These are just a few of the many superstitions which I openly admit to believing in….:D
Hope you have an awesome Sunday!!!!

Christmas is not over yet, Angie. Not until later tonight otherwise the three kings won’t see the star on top of the tree. Happy Three Kings.
Just so you know I put my tree back up with the star, thank you very much! 😀 One more for the list!!!
Step on a crack
Break your mother’s back
All those superstitions are good ones to openly admit to.
But I’m interested in the superstitions you believe that you won’t admit to. lol
We would do that when we were kids walking home from school or wherever , sometimes it took for ever to get home and some pretty fancy foot work.
I don’t have many more superstitious thoughts, other than what I’ve shared ms.meme 😀 😀 I will never tell.
You are so brave to cop to this! Good for you!
Awe gee thanks 😀 I hate to admit to having “irrational” thoughts, but I don’t want to take a chance that these may come true hahaha.
Poor child. What an upbringing!
It was awful , you have no idea hahahaha
I have heard of most of these, especially not giving a money holder (purse/wallet) empty. Another one in our house – never give someone a knife without giving silver or the new knife will cut them.
They are all pretty common, I’ve never heard of giving silver , for that hahaha another one to add to my list of “un rational” thought patterns. LoL!!
