Handsel Monday
According to old Scottish custom, the first Monday of
the new year was the time to give children and ser
vants a small gift. Literally, something given into
the hands of someone else, the gift itself was less
important than the good luck it betokened. The hand
sel was popular as a New Year's gift from the four
teenth century to the nineteenth century, but it had a
broader application as a gift given to mark any
f situation, not just the new
r. The handsel continues today
i the tradition of presenting a
housewarming gift to bring
good luck into the new home.
Ho gives twice who
gives soon.
Try non-stick vegetable spray to quiet squeaky door
hinges, wheels, etc.
