Steve Fisher, of Prague, CZ taught us many years ago, that if one can remember to say, "Rabbits..." first thing upon waking on the first day of the new year, it will bring luck to the one who says it. According to Steve, this also works on the first day of each month. He didn't explain if the monthly recitations are reinforcements of the annual declaration, or intended as ritual incantations for each specific month. Regardless, it seems like a little preparation at the beginning could be worth the effort.
