If you are born on Christmas day,
If you sweep the house on New Year's Day,
You will dream of your future husband or wife
The family will become rich
If you dance around a tree on New Year's Day,
If you open the door at the strike of midnight in New Years,
If you find a ring in your Christmas pudding/cake,
A girl will get married by the end of the year
If the first person to enter the house after midnight on New Year's Day is a dark-haired man,
You will have bad luck
you will be the next person at the table to marry.
you will never see a ghost.
you will have good luck.
if you put a piece of Christmas cake under your pillow.
if a child is born on New Year's Day.
if the first person to enter the house after midnight on New Year's Day is a red-haired or a woman.
good luck will come into your house and bad luck will leave.
if she sees a man passing when she first looks out the window.
you will be healthy the entire year.
you will sweep the good luck out.
