  2. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    The old people say that it is not right to give a coal to a neighbour on a Monday morning. On New Years Day the old people used to think that if a girl went into a house before a man she would have no luck during that year. If a person had broke a looking glass he would not have any luck for seven years.
