It occured to me there's all kinds of traditions and customs and folklore to do with Christmas, so I thought I'd start a thread about them for folk to share them, either regional or international.
What have people come across, in their travels or where they've lived?
I think these are fun, and conjour up thoughts of folk tales and people's everyday fears being given a humorous slant.
