Looking in the mirror on a full moon

December often brings a full moon, and according to beliefs, mirrors can attract negative energies during this time.

During the full moon, you should not look in the mirror, as this can bring trouble into your life.

Some people deliberately cover the mirror with cloth during this period.

Hanging up Christmas decorations ahead of time

New Year's decorations are not only a way to decorate your home, but also a kind of amulet.

According to superstition, hanging them up too early can ruin the magic of the holiday and bring bad luck.

Share bread and salt

Salt and bread are symbols of abundance and friendship. However, according to folk signs, it is better not to lend salt and bread to anyone in December.

It is believed that this can lead to a breakdown in harmony in relationships.

Arguing at the table
