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.
