Do not accept such Christmas gifts from your family. Superstitions for the holidays
It’s fast approaching and most of us already have or are looking for Christmas gifts for our loved ones. And it’s simple when we know exactly what the other person dreams about. However, it gets complicated when we have to come up with something ourselves and please a family member with a gift. What can you buy as a Christmas gift for your aunt, grandmother or brother-in-law? Well, according to superstition, there are gifts that should not be given to a loved one. This topic was also raised by fortune teller Aida Kosojan-Przybysz on social media.
I always say that there are gifts that are better not to be given during the holidays. Not because they are “bad”, but because they carry the wrong energy.
– she wrote under the video on Facebook. Which gifts are these?
Christmas gifts that attract bad luck and conflict
The fortune teller Aida listed several Christmas gifts that we should not give to our loved ones or accept them. This is due to the negative energy they carry and we can unknowingly bring misfortune.
In my family, sharp objects were never given away. Scissors, knives
– points out the fortune teller. Well, according to superstition, it is believed that knives, scissors and other sharp objects “cut” the bonds of friendship and love. However, if you absolutely want to give such an item, attach a coin (payment symbol) to it to “redeem” the bad luck.
Grandma always said that “I will never accept or give a tissue” because it is a superstition that says that people share their sorrows and tears
– Aida recalls.
Also, let’s not buy shoes or watches for the person we love or like. The superstition with shoes is that a person will leave. If we give away the watch – time will stop and the energy of love will end.
– she added at the end of her statement about unlucky Christmas gifts.
Superstitions about Christmas gifts
regarding Christmas gifts are present in many cultures and often result from the symbolism of objects or old beliefs. Here are some popular ones
- Giving used gifts: It is believed that giving a used gift brings bad luck to the recipient. This suggests a lack of respect or willingness to invest in a new thing.
- Buying gifts at the last minute: Although we often do it due to lack of time, it is believed that gifts bought in a hurry are “cursed” and may bring misfortune to the recipient. It’s better to plan your shopping in advance.
- Not unwrapping gifts right away: In some cultures, it is believed that delaying unpacking gifts (especially those we don’t like) brings bad luck and can spoil the relationship with the giver.
