Boost your New Year with Twelfth Night folklore!

*This is an episode from January 2020*
The presents have long been opened. No one can find anything decent to watch on TV. It feels weird to still say 'Merry Christmas' so we've all switched to saying 'Happy New Year' instead. But no matter! We still have Twelfth Night to celebrate!

This was not something that I got to enjoy, but... My mother told us kids that during the depression her father would not allow Santa to bring anything practical on Christmas Eve. Only toys or your deepest wish could show up in your sock. On New Years Eve Mrs. Santa would come and bring things that were needed. Such things as gloves, scarves, socks or other clothing. Had I had a family I would have renewed this tradition.
