    "I wish you a happy Christmas,"
    Said on Christmas Eve, when a woman meets someone she knows and the other person answers,
    "I wish you the same and manny happy returns."
    "God and his holy mother may save everyone from accidents."
    This is said at Christmas because there's always accidents.
    "God bless the crops."
    Said when a farmer has a good crop of corn.
