    Christmas Traditions
    On Christmas Eve a candle is lighted and placed in the window. The Blessed Virgin goes around and blesses the houses that have the candle lighting. If a girl gets the wish bone out of the turkey she hangs it over the door and the first man who comes into the house will be her husband.
