Imagine waking up on a beautiful crisp cold morning, just to find out that your house fence has disappeared. You take a couple of days to frantically search for it, until you finally give up. Then, two months later, when the spring hits the town, you see how your dearly-missed fence has miraculously re-appeared in your neighbor’s yard, carefully tucked under the heaps of melting snow. Well, you sigh – at least this St. Andrew’s day your horse cart did not show up on the rooftop of your barn, unlike at your unlucky neighbors’ two streets down!
Well, if girls get their own holiday in winter, guys are bound to get one as well. St. Andrew’s Day is traditionally celebrated by both sexes, with girls doing the repeat version of the fortune-telling. However, it’s the men that get to have all the fun! One day in the year everyone finally cuts them some slack, as guys are officially allowed to make trouble. From playing innocent pranks, to hiding fences and paiting farm barns – they truly enjoy their St. Andrew’s right!
