Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit.~
“Rabbit rabbit white rabbit” is a common superstition, held particularly among children. The most common modern version states that a person should say “rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit” upon waking on the first day of each new month, and on doing so will receive good luck for the remainder of that month.
~
Some have also believed it is representing a jumping into the future and moving ahead with life and happiness.

Me??? Well I never remember, I've usually spoken several words before my brain registers that the 1st is upon me, so no not supersticious. But I still think the white rabbit is cute. I think I did carry a rabbits foot way back in the 70's when I was 9 or 10... perhaps the white rabbit forgot to say the words back then too, and that's why it lost it's foot. LOL.

I do not have them, I have always made them the way my grandma taught me, to take a piec of cardboard and keep winding it aroung it a zillion times, then cutting it off the cardboard, then trimming til the size I want...Wastes a lot of yarn, so maybe I can actually make some and save some yarn...
What great prizes! I wonder if the winners said Rabbit rabbit, white rabbit? LOL.

When I was a teenager (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and there were no calculators other than abacuses or whatever they are), we used to say "rabbit" right after midnight at the beginning of each month. New Year's "rabbit" was a big deal.
Ooooooooh, I love the calendar!!! Thank you so much!!!
