Seasons Greeting to all in Avonmora -
ITALY
MEXICO
USA
Hopefully, we celebrate a little different to the following traditions -
1.In Austria and Bavaria -
Frau Perchta is a witch who comes to see who has been naughty or nice. She slits the bellies of bad children and stuffs their corpses with straw. It’s sort of like Santa bringing coal, but with disembowelment instead.
2.
Imagine: it is New Year’s Eve. You are a small Welsh child. You hear a knock on the door. You open it. Looming over you is a creature with a horse’s skull, wearing a long, billowing cloak and trailed by people chanting. In the horse’s eye cavities are fake eyeballs. Its mouth is slightly ajar. You are paralyzed in terror.
As you wet yourself in fear, adults around you wish each other happy new year.
Let us know if you have or know of any strange or unusual, old or new traditions -
