December Birthstone Poem - The Turquoise

"If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise blue
Success will bless whate'er you do."

"Marry on December third
For all the grief you ever heard"

A Christmas pudding should be made with 13 ingredients to represent Jesus and his disciples and that every member of the family should take turns to stir the pudding with a wooden spoon from east  to west, in honour of the Wise Men.

If you take a candle to church this Christmas, don't bring it home, blow it out and leave it there with the vicar for good luck.

"The child born on Christmas Day will have a special fortune."

"Wearing new shoes on Christmas Day will bring bad luck"

"Good luck will come to the home where a fire is kept burning throughout the Christmas season."

If there's additional info you'd like to add/edit I'd love to hear from you!
