Here in Italy, in the autumn a lot of older people carry a horse-chestnut (conker) in their pocket -it's said to ward off colds.

Personally, i always have a candle lit in the widow all night on the 31st October.

At Xmas i always bring some real evergreen foliage into the house and Mistletoe -to ward off illness. It also signifies the end of the cycle of the seasons. I am a follower of the Cult of Nature...
