It is not good to draw off wine before this day. A branch is put into water so as to blossom for New Year’s Day. ( cherry, peach, apricot, almond)

6th The day of Mikulás or St. Nicholas.
He arrives wearing the robes of a bishop, with a stoff in one hand and a sack full of small presents in the other. Accompanying him there is a „Devil”, a boy in a black costume, complete with horns and a long toil. He holds some dry twings (virgács), ready to smack any „naughty” children. Each child receives a small gifts, usually a toy or sweets from Mikulás. (St Nicholas is the medieval patron saint of students)

13th The day of Luca (the patron saint of handicraftsmen)
There are several pagan traditions in connection with this day.
a.) „It is being made like Luca’s chair”
According to the superstitions belief he who stands on this chair – on the midnight mass- can see the witches but immediately after that the chair must be burnt.
b.) The weather of the 12 days between the Luca-day and Xmas determines the weather of the naxt 12 months.
