Many superstitions have their roots in traditions surrounding the winter solstice. Many of them were reflected on Christmas Eve and during the holidays, but some of them should be done after the holidays. It’s better to know this superstition – even if it doesn’t fully come true, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits.
Carp scales in the wallet or hay under the table are traditional superstitions that do not surprise most people. They are so popular that most people willingly do them, but we should not forget about slightly less known superstitions. These are also worth keeping in mind – our grandmothers believed in them and willingly used them to attract good luck to the household. Nowadays, it is also worth using them.
According to tradition, we should not clean during the holidays because it may bring bad luck. The biggest cleaning is done before, but according to old superstitions we should literally and figuratively clean up our surroundings after. The time between Christmas and the New Year should be devoted to thorough cleaning — it’s not about wiping dust from the cabinets, but about thoroughly cleaning the house and more.

This superstition is about the fact that We should not enter the coming year with arrears and unnecessary things. This is reflected in cleaning the entire house, especially forgotten corners. Only washing is not recommended, other activities related to tidying up the space around us can, according to old beliefs, bring us prosperity in 2025.
Lack of order or unnecessary decorations symbolize arrears, which is why tidying up is extremely important. This superstition, apart from the possibility of obtaining good luck from fate, is also a good motivation to clean the nooks and crannies at home. Interestingly, we should not avoid equipment, including: laptops or phones. It is also worth “cleaning up” these devices in terms of unnecessary applications or photos.
Importantly, we should not clean at the turn of the year, i.e. December 31 and January 1. Why? Because then, along with cleaning, we can take happiness out of the rooms. After organizing things, it is worth ventilating the interior to get rid of negative energy. At the end of cleaning, you can also light a candle or incense stick.
