question of the day..a christmas old wives' tale

Published Jan. 10, 2008

Good afternoon, Everyone! It's the roaming "I" on the street with a new question of the day! I'm sure most of you have heard that it is back luck to wash your bed linens between Christmases (Dec 25 through Jan 6). Do you wash your bed linens and say what will happen will happen or do you wait til Jan 7 and wash the bed linens? My mother doesn't wash bed linens between Christmases and that is because that was the way she was raised.

I love the feel of fresh sheets. I've never heard of that practice.

Oh Lordy! I wouldn't DARE wash my sheets between the Christmases. Mama would never let me hear the end of it. I do change the sheets during that time, but never wash them til at least the 7th.

This is a new one to me.

Oh I change mine twice a week without a doubt and sometimes it has been more. I am very OCD on having things clean.

Well if New Years Eve goes as planned, it's all gettin washed New Years Day {;o)

We've always washed/changed bed linens once a week. Sometimes twice{;o)

Growing up with a very superstitious grandmother and mother, I thought I'd heard it all. This one is totally new to me. But if it makes any difference. I haven't washed them, but I did change them all.

haven't heard that one. guess I'm 'out of the loop' LOL.

"I try not to wash bed linens between New Year's Day and the following New Year's Eve."

nasty!

LOL @ yacks

Never heard of this either
