When I was younger it was always a tradition, among the Poles
in Detroit especially, that the day after Christmas, St. Stephen's
Day, a person would take nuts and throw it at another person.
This was done as a greeting in the morning. The symbolism of this
tradition was to remember that St. Stephen was stoned to
death.
