I stopped picking up pennies and other small coins years ago figuring that it might be more thrilling to some little kid coming along later. If I'm missing out on luck, now I'll know why.
My mother said that one of her mother's superstitions was that you never give knives or other sharp objects as gifts because it will sever the relationship. I doubt my grandmother or mother actually believed that, but it may have been passed down through generations. I never think of giving such a gift without remembering that, but if someone has knives as a Christmas wish it wouldn't stop me. In fact, I'm pretty sure I gave my DS and DIL steak knives one time and so far it hasn't caused any problem. Knock on wood.

Well tomorrow is the 13th, what are your superstitions regarding this day. And what other superstitions do you have?
I will burn sage in the house in the morning.
I avoid walking under ladders.
I don't open umbrellas indoors.
I don't put shoes on the table new or worn ones.
Salt thrown over the left shoulder.
I don't close pocket knives opened by someone else. No one closes my pocket knives either if I opened it.
I am looking forward to all of your responses.
