Pogo BS: Old Christmas New Tradition??? (18) BS: Old Christmas New Tradition??? 26 Dec 04

I'm trying to get a new tradition started in my family of celebrating January 6th is it? (Old Christmas according to the Julian calender) Any suggestions, recipes, traditions tied to old Christmas that I can integrate into our celebration?

My mother recounted a neat old superstition my great-grandfather believed in, that all the cows, mules, farm animals etc. would kneel at old Christmas at the stroke of midnight...we might include a midnight watch as part of the celebration ;O) incidentally anybody know the story behind why the animals are supposed to do that?

thanks Mudcatters!!!
