    Hansel Monday.
    The first Monday of the New Year is called "Hansel Monday". If you make a good bargain that day you will succeed for the rest of the year. No graves are to be opened on that day or any Monday during the year. If this rule is broken a great many deaths will take place during the year.
    Cross Day
    The third day of the New Year is called the Cross Day of the year. If you get vexed on that day you will be vexed almost every day of the coming year.
