I seem to remember that 3 is traditionally luck in Western culture because it represented the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
There's also a tradition of saying White Rabbits on the first day of every month, but I've no idea where that comes from.
I suppose that if White Rabbits are lucky, then 3 White Rabbits will be three times as lucky
We do the Pinch and Punch thing on the first day of the month. OH hasn't remembered yet so I'll get him when he comes downstairs - Shhhh, don't tell him
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dove & Star gazer - My Mum said' white rabbit' three times before uttering any other word on the first day of the month that had an'R' in it. I don't know where she got it from as she didn't believe in luck at all - she came from the south |London area so may be it was a tradition there.
My mum and dad were Londoners, so maybe you are right. Tho i'm sure that said it every month! They believed in good luck stuff, they were also superstitious! s

It was my Mum who always said three white rabbits. Load of rubbish really.
I can remember my mum and always saying white rabbits, never really new why, except something about good luck. Does 3 mean anything
