The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
ON NEW YEAR'S DAY, IN QUEBEC (CANADA) THE PEOPLE ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT OR DRINK UNTIL THE FATHER
BLESSES THE FAMILY.
IF THE CHILDREN WERE MARRIED, THEY WENT FIRST TO THE
HUSBAND'S PARENTS' HOUSE AND RECEIVED THE BLESSING AND
THEN ATE AND DRANK. AFTER THIS, THEY HAD TO GO TO THE
WIFE'S PARENTS' HOUSE, RECEIVE THE BLESSING AND THEN
EAT AND DRINK THERE ALSO.
