to put up your 2008 calendar already? A close friend of mine, got upset with me because I'd already hung up my 2008 calendar under this year's calendar. She says it's bad luck to hang it up now, because bad things will happen in the New Year. I say it's superstition, & she can believe what she wants, but I don't think as she does. Do you feel as my friend does?

Like some of you, I too have already hung my 2008 calendar up behind the 2007 one. I have always done this. I have dates in January that I need to jot down while they're fresh on my mind.

If something bad is going to happen to me next year, it won't be because I hung my calendar up too soon.

Nah. Go ahead. It's only bad luck to be superstitious.

I think it's okay to put up a 2008 calendar. First time I ever heard of that. Do what you like.

I don't believe in superstitions. If it's easier for you to hang it up now behind the 2007 calendar, then do it. I'm guessing you friend is the type that consults psychics and has her cards read, too. I'd politely listen to her then use your common sense.

Never heard that one sounds like superstition. Don't whistle in the house if your pregnant though because that will bring you bad luck!! LOL

No. I don't believe in luck. I refuse to be confined by superstition.
Having next year's calendar so readily available is really convenient. Hang it and don't invite your friend over again until Jan 1!

Mine is hanging up already also. I need to have it ready for my work and stuff. I have already put some stuff in it. It is already a new year in china Tell your friend thanks for the advice. Bad things always happen whether you have put your calendar up or not. It is called life

No Silly... just don't step on any cracks in the sidewalk. Or, walk under any ladders, or, let a black cat run in front of you, or forget to hold your breath when you go under an over pass!
Should any of these things happen to you, Immediately throw salt over your left shoulder then turn around in a circle to the right 3 times, then you must tug on your earlobes twice in unison with your eyes closed, snap your fingers once, clap your hands, and say the words..... oh hell, I forgot the words!

I don't believe as your friend does. Tell your friend not to hang up her calendar early since she believes it is bad luck, but you are going to make your own decision regarding when you hang your calendar.

I've been using my January calendar for a couple of weeks now. I've never heard of that. We do it every year.

I have never put the new one up before 01/01/xx BUT I will do now as I need to do some planning and have continuity of dates and work commitments which I did not have before.
I think need outweighs superstition this time. I will try it and see.
