- Christmas fall on the twenty fifth day of December every year. There are many old tales and customs about that day. This is an old custom.
On Christmas morning some friend or relative generally pays people a visit. If a man with dark hair pays them a visit, it is said that they will have good luck in the new year, but if that man has fair hair it is said that the luck will not be good.- Collector
