Christmas.
A light Christmas, a heavy sheaf.
If the sun shines through the apple tree on Christmas day, there will be an abundant crop the following year.
If on Christmas night the wine ferments heavily in the barrels, a good wine year is to follow. (German.)
The shepherd would rather see his wife enter the stable on Christmas day than the sun. (German.)
If ice will bear a man before Christmas, it will not bear a mouse afterward. (English proverb.)
If Christmas day on Thursday be,
A windy winter you shall see.
Windy weather in each week,
And hard tempests strong and thick.
