A single girl wanting to know about her marriage prospects could approach the door of the henhouse on Christmas Eve, tap it smartly, and wait. If a hen cackled first, the chances for marriage during the coming year were poor. If a cock crowed, the future was bright and she should take an egg from the henhouse to use to determine his profession.
This year I also have an advent calendar! It is loosely linked to the folklore & food facts that I will be sending out via social media but enriched with added extras like vintage folklore related footage & festive short stories.
