Rabbit, Rabbit!
Oct. 31st, 2004 04:58 pmI'd not thought about this in a long, long time:
"Rabbits: Saying 'Rabbits' On the first day of the month: Since the first half of the 20th century, families marked the first day of the month and sometimes the night before by saying out loud 'rabbits' or 'hares'. They believed it would make a wish come true or bring luck for the month ahead. "
I'd first heard of this when I was in grade school. My sister got it from reading the Trixie Belden series of books, where it was told as saying "Rabbit, Rabbit!". I remember trying for months to remember to say it, inevitably forgetting.
Some fun to try for tomorrow!
