Christmas is a time of magic and warmth.
Many people know that they should prepare for this holiday responsibly.
Has anyone thought about what prohibitions exist?
So it's worth remembering 6 things you shouldn't do at Christmas.
Taking down the Christmas tree
According to popular belief, removing the fir tree before January 7 is considered disrespectful to Christmas and its symbolism.
May the tree remain until the end of the festive season, bringing joy and light to your home.
Leaving the house at midnight
Superstitions say that leaving the house at midnight on Christmas can bring bad luck.
During this period, it is better to be close to your loved ones in order to achieve harmony and understanding.
Light candles in advance
Lighting candles early, especially at Christmas dinner, may be considered a violation of the sacrament.
According to folk belief, candles should be lit only in the evening to create an atmosphere of magic and respect for the special moment.
You can't give watches as gifts
Giving a watch for Christmas is considered unlucky according to popular belief, as watches can be associated with counting time and a harbinger of separation.
And if you really want to give such a gift, you can ask for a symbolic amount for it, but it is better to do this the next day.
Open gifts in advance
It is recommended to open gifts on Christmas only in the morning of the next day.
It is believed that if you open them before morning, you can attract minor troubles and misfortunes into your life.
You can't let strangers into your house at midnight
