[color=burgundy]On gift giving and receiving:
When giving a wallet or coin purse or bag, make sure to put some coins or money in it to give good luck to the receiver
When giving shoes or sandals as gift make sure to ask for a coin to the receiver to break the bad luck for both receiver and giving. They say its like stepping on the other person.

Sure Witchy No Problem ... I can wait for your witchcrafts too lol!
Anyway this New Years Eve surprisingly I wasn't at the peek of my witchy insticts so I did not do any much rituals except for
1) Hanging 15 grapes on top of the door
2) wearing polkadots/stripes
3) filling my pockets with coins and money
4) drinking wine
5) Fish on the dining table
6) Gold coins on the table
Also lighted firecrakers and honk trumpets said to drive away the evil spirits.
And now 12 days starting yesterday... Wear Red... to invoke Good Luck on everything
Like you said witchy doesn't hurt to do some Here's to GOOD LUCK!!!

Let's include here the superstitious and beliefs of the people in the old days, earthly. Especially those that live in small towns or barrios. They are unbelievable and hilarious and sometimes scary, but then I do not want to get enchanted or "mamaligno" in our own language or chance a bad luck so I do what I'm told to in some of the places I visited. 
1. In the forest, if you happened to come across a big lump on the ground while walking, either go around it or say "May I pass, please?" so that the dwarfs that live there won't get offended and make your body swell, like tummy, eyes, feet..etc..etc..!
2. When it's your first time to visit a certain place in the province, make sure you get a bite of something... wood, stones, shells..or anything else so that the spirit will accept seeing you around them.
3. On the 8th month of pregnancy, tie garlic around your doors and windows because it is the time, vampires or "manananggal" (as they are called locally) when they find babies inside the womb more delicious to eat. ewwww!!
4. After giving birth, a woman should stay in bed for at least 9 days or some kind of curse will befall her.
5. Never walk alone on a full moon if it falls at precisely 12 midnight because by then all the bad spirits will be out rejoicing the birth of some enchanted creature.
6. On a full moon still..make sure you place food at the base of a giant tree so the half-horse-half human creature that lives there will not bother those that occupy the house near the tree.
7. It is bad luck for the bride to show herself to her groom before the wedding takes place.
8. It is bad luck for the bride to try a fitting after the wedding dress is made before a wedding.
9. After the wedding, the bride should outrun the groom outside so she will have an upperhand in the marriage life.
10. It is bad luck to say no if someone asked you to sponsor a child in it's baptism.
11. It is bad luck when a black cat crossed your path just when you are about to go somewhere.
12. If you see a family member without his/her head in your vision as the person is about to leave the house, stop her/him from leaving because something bad is about to happen to that person if he is allowed to leave.
13. Put a coin in a dead person's hands and let it lie there for the duration of the funeral wake. Then retrieve it before he/she is buried under the ground. The coin will give you gambling good luck.
14. It is bad luck for visitors to take with them anything that was at a funeral wake when they leave. That include foodstuff, playing cards, even papercups (in case you are thinking of eating them on your way out).
15. When you open a new pack of cigarette, pull the first stick and turn it upside down then return it to the pack and make sure the owner will light it last. It will make a wish come true.
Lol, earthy...these are all I can think of right now....maybe I can be back for more.

LOL, so many supertitious beliefs, Witchy. Some are so funny. Haha.
Well, I remember one.LOL.
When me and my father were eating together at home in the Philippines, I began to collect some used plates so that I would get another one for the cake. He said , I should not collect anything from the table if someone single ( LOL, he was still single that time  ) is not yet finished eating. Why? The person can not get marry . LMAO. But look, I got a step mom.

LMAO witchy, you surely are a witchy lol! I didn't know some of these like about biting a tree, about the full moon, about the cigars and about the birth and funeral myths. I did heard about those wedding "traditions".
And about the plates Krissy, I've heard about it too, also included in the dinning myths is that when someone leaves the dinning table earlier than the rest, you should turn your plates around so he won't experience any accidents along the way.
About Babies myth:
... You should keep your baby's first hair cut in a book to make the child smart.
... Make sure that the person cutting your baby's hair for the first time is intelligent because he/she will adopt that person's intelligence.
... Keep the baby's umbilical cord hidden and after her 1st birthday bring it to a far away place so that your baby will also go places and reach far in his lifetime.
... After the childs baptism, if you are in a mass baptism, have a godparent take the child and take him out immediately. He/she should be the first to reach outside so she will go ahead of the others.
Be back for more laters

During pregnancy:
... During the period of conception, the wife should step over his husband so he would be the one to experience the pregnancy symptoms instead.
... Don't look at ugly things or else your baby will look like them. Also if you want your child to have fair skin always be fond of a person with dark skin tone and if you want the opposite do the reverse.

Hey, I also heard that if a pregnant woman wants to have a baby girl, all she has to do is get up from bed on the left side of your hubby while he's still asleep. If you want a boy, get up from his right side. I was wondering, does that mean you are going to roll over your husband if you happen to be sleeping on the wrong side?
