The belief was born with our ancestors who claimed that Dec. 24 was a day to mark </div> <div> the beginning of a new era. It was bolstered by sayings such as, "As goes Christmas Eve, goes </div> <div> the year." Hoping for a good 12 months, everyone was polite and generous to one another and </div> <div> forgave past grievances.</div> <bR> <div> Today, few treat the old traditions seriously, but some survive as family fun. "Maidens" interested in </div> <div> their marital future and older people, who try to predict next year's weather based on the sky's aura </div> <div> between Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night (Jan. 6), sometimes cling to past superstitions.</div> <bR> <div> Polish rural residents are among the few who still keep up the old Christmas Eve customs. In </div> <div> eastern Poland it is still believed that girls who grind poppy seed on Christmas Eve can hope for </div> <div> a quick marriage. After dinner, they leave the house, and the direction of the first dog bark points to </div> <div> where their future husband will come from. Another fortune-telling trick is eavesdropping on the </div> <div> neighbors. If in a casual conversation, the girl hears the word "Go" it means she will get married in </div> <div> the coming year.
