In Greek legend, malicious creatures called Kallikantzaroi sometimes play troublesome pranks at Christmas time. What should you do to get rid of them?
A) Placate them with gifts of rice pudding B) Burn either salt or an old shoe ü C) Sing hymns in a loud voice D) Throw your sandals at them
The pungent burning stench drives off, or at least helps discourage, the Kallikantzaroi. Other techniques include hanging a pig's jawbone by the door and keeping a large fire so they can't sneak down the chimney.
