CUSTOM ON ST. ANDREW'S
IN POLAND, ON ST. ANDREW'S DAY, NOVEMBER 30, THE GIRLS WOULD POUR
HOT WAX ON TO WATER. WHEN THE PIECES OF WAX WERE REMOVED FROM THE
WATER, THEY WERE TO INDICATE THE GIRLS' FUTURE. THE SHAPE OF THE
WAX WOULD SUGGEST COMING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AND HER FUTURE HUSBAND
PERHAPS.
Submitter comment: MY MOTHER REMEMBERS THIS FROM HER CHILDHOOD IN POLAND.
