Do not kiss under the mistletoe if more people than there are berries on Some Odd Omens in Regard to Christmas Here, to end with, are two little known superstitions connected with the holly and the mistletoe. Do not throw away the holly until 12 days have passed since Christmas Day. When the Christmas pudding is brought in try to get the piece in which the holly sprig stands. If you do, you may have a wish granted providing that it is a merntal wishâ€"do not tell anyone else about it. And the wish must not have anything even remotely to do with money. To be sure of making money during the year following after Christmas wear a new article on the day after Christâ€" mas Dayâ€"that is Boxing Day. It does not really matter what it is except that it should be something which can be seen and noted at its true value by all the worldâ€"something like a new suit or a new ‘hat orâ€"glossy new shoes. But it must be worn from 8 o‘clock on Boxing Day morn until 8 p.m. that evening. Keeping the Christmas Cake Cut a piece of Christmas cake. Break off a small portion and put it into a pocket which you do not use very much. If you succeed in keeping the merest crumb of it until next Christmas Day then most certainly, according to countryâ€"folk, fortune will sinile on you for the three years immediately folâ€" lowing. But, they say, the piece of cake must be kept in a pocketâ€"not in a wallet or anything of the sort.

If he prefers casual comfort then keep away from the extremes. Instead select a collar attached shirt, but don‘t for one minute think thai it means giving an ordinary shirt. New tablessâ€"tab collars, long point collars, the clever fused sandâ€"up colâ€" lars that look as though they are starchedâ€"but aren‘tâ€"these and many others bring smartness to shirts, smartâ€" ness that you wouldn‘t think possible. rainy year.
