Christina's Rabbitings

White bunny rabbits, white bunny rabbits, white bunny rabbits. Heard first when about 10 in the mid 1980s. I live in Medford, MA but first heard the saying in Damariscotta, ME. Saying "white bunny rabbits, white bunny rabbits, white bunny rabbits" means good luck to the one that says it first on the first day of the month - it is more of a competition as to who can say it first and those who don't say it first don't get penalized (they neither get good or bad luck). My mother does it and her boyfriend and now they have dragged my boyfriend into doing it. She used to work at the hospital in Damariscotta and the nurses used to see who could say it first after the stroke of midnight of the first day of the month.
