    (continued from previous page)
    On Christmas night it is customary to give an extra share of food to animals especially the donkey. It is believed that the person who has enough to eat on New Year's Night will not be in want for the year. It is believed that two neighbours who quarrel on the first day of the year, will differ for the whole year.
