CHRISTMAS CUSTOM
THE MANGER WITH THE CHRIST CHILD SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN THE NATIVITY
SCENE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
Submitter comment:
THIS WAS PRACTICED BY THE INFORMANT'S FAMILY AS LONG AS THE INFORMANT
CAN REMEMBER. INFORMANT'S PARENTS DO NOT REMEMBER THEIR FAMILIES
DOING THIS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY PICKED UP
THE CUSTOM. CUSTOM IS STILL FOLLOWED.
