Happy November 1st!

“Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” is a quirky superstition in which saying “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” or simply “rabbit” first thing in the morning on the first day of a new month is thought to bring good luck for the rest of the month. The origins of this tradition aren’t completely clear, but it’s believed to have roots in British folklore and may go back to the early 1900s or even earlier.

The idea is to say “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” as soon as you wake up—before you say anything else—to ensure the luck sticks. Some variations suggest saying “white rabbit” instead, and there are even regional differences where people might say “hares” or “rabbits” twice rather than three times. Whatever the version, it’s a fun little tradition many people carry on each month for a touch of good fortune!
