SUPERSTITIOUS?

to usher in the month that houses Halloween, we will begin with a new folklore set.

first:
As with knives and other sharp objects, tradition dictates that anyone who receives scissors as a present must give the donor a coin, otherwise the gift will ‘cut the love’ between them.

Also, in Turkish culture, you can't hand someone scissors or a knife, or it will sever the friendship. Therefore, you have to set it down on the table and let the other pick it up.
