Folk omens December 8 – enjoy the frost

December 8 in the folk calendar – Klim Kholodny. Usually in Rus’ real winter frosts were set on this day. True, this year the cold came to us early.

Complaining about the cold and frost on this day is not worth it, because there is a belief that it is on Klim Kholodny that the spirit of frost comes to earth, and, offended by his ill-wishers, he can send various ailments to them. But to those who rejoice in a frosty day, finding their charms in it, no disease will stick. In general, our ancestors believed that if you are joyful and cheerful on this day, good health will last for a long time.

Even for this day, there was a sign among the people: if you take up an important matter on an empty stomach, good luck will accompany everything.

It was believed that today is favorable for needlework. So you can enjoy sewing, embroidering, knitting, weaving and other similar favorite activities.

Washed things would be good to hang out on the street. According to legend, the frosty spirit will wipe out everything bad and negative from them, and subsequently the clothes will bring health and good luck to those who wear them.

You can’t quarrel today, sort things out and talk in a raised voice – this threatens with trouble. It is not worth interfering in other people’s affairs – such interference will not lead to anything good.

Folk signs on December 8 are as follows:

– frost on the grass – to frost;
