Christmas is a magical time of year, filled with warmth, light and the expectation of miracles.
However, in addition to traditional holiday joys, there are a number of signs and superstitions in folk beliefs that are worth examining in more detail.
"White" dreams
If you have a white dream on Christmas night - a dream of snow, white birds or bright light, this is considered a sign of upcoming happiness and joy in the new year.
Of course, dreams on this day may have another explanation, so in a number of situations it is necessary to be rational.
For example, if you dream of a black raven, it may warn of danger.
First guest
The first guest to arrive at Christmas can have a special meaning. It is believed that the first person to enter the house at Christmas must be a man.
If this happens, then luck and harmony will reign in the house throughout the year.
Leftovers of food
Leftover food from the Christmas feast should never be thrown away.
It is believed that throwing away food on this day can bring misfortune and bad luck. It is better to give the leftovers to animals that are cold outside.
The ringing of bells
Omen: The ringing of bells at midnight on Christmas is considered an auspicious sign. It is said that the louder the bells, the brighter and more intense the year will be.
There is also an opinion that ringing bells on this day can drive away negative energy.
