Christmas is the holiday with the most superstitions. Here are some.

In the nineteenth century, people had to eat cake on Christmas Eve. It was unlucky to cut the cake before the sun came up on Christmas Eve. A little bit of the cake had to be saved until Christmas Day.
If a child was born on Christmas Day, he would be safe from death by drowning or hanging. Children born on Christmas Eve were also lucky.
January 6 is the date when Christmas decorations should come down. Supertitions say that it is bad luck to leave it for another day or take it down before that date.
If you are under the mistletoe with someone of the opposite sex, you should be kissed. Otherwise, you will both have bad luck.
At midnight on Christmas Eve, all the doors of the house should be opened to let out eveil spirits.

New Year's also has a lot of superstitions. Here are some.

You must eat something leafy and green on New Year's Day. That will bring you money or riches during the year, and you won't have to worry about paying bills.
Your house should be clean and there should be no dirty clothes in the house on New Year's Day. This is for good luck.
The first person to come into your house on New Year's Day should be a man. Anything else is bad luck.
A candle should be placed in a window to burn all night long from 12 o'clock midnight. This will guarantee the household's luck for another year.
