I have just been reading some sayings about Christmas and I thought I would share some. Please Share any of yours! Blessed is the season, which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mable For somehow, not only at Christmas but all the year through, The joy that you give to others, is the joy that comes back to you. John Greenleaf Wittier The only real blind person at Christmas is he who has not Christmas in his heart. Hellen Keller Superstitions; To have good health throughout the year eat an apple on Christmas eve. On Christmas eve animals can speak, but it is bad luck to test this superstition! May peace, love and laughter be with you throughout this holiday season and the new year to come. Rustic |

Superstition: Eat well on Xmas and New Year's Day and you'll do so the rest of the year. In my area, that meant black eyed peas, pork chops and mashed turnips. I've heard the idea came from Africa. |
