[quote=Anonymous]I have three my mom always did growing up:

1. The Christmas tree can only come down after New Year's day or else you'll have back luck
2. If you spill salt, you toss some over your shoulder for good luck/to ward off bad luck
3. Never return to your house for something you forgot. Returning to your house and starting your trip again meant disaster would be waiting.

The last one was a huge one for her. I remember one year as we started out of town on our vacation car trip, my dad realized he left his meds on the table. We had to turn back for them and she said "well, we might as well cancel the trip because it's doomed now." And she was right. We got stuck in traffic from a pile-up, we got lost on the detour, the hotel gave away our room and only had a room with 1 king bed available and no cots so all 4 of us had to sleep in the same bed for a few nights, the car broke down on the way home, and other little things.

It's funny because this year I heard a friend say they always rush to get the Christmas tree down before New Year's eve or else it's bad luck to carry the best year into the new year. [/quote]
