    Friday's child is loving and giving.
    Saturday's child works hard for his living
    But the child that is born on the Sabbath day,
    Is blythe and bonny, good and gay."

    In this district the following beliefs are common:
    Christmas day is said to be a lucky day to be born, because Our Lord was born on that day.
    The potato onions are sowed on the shortest day of the year, and taken out the longest day.
