What does it mean when people hang empty glass bottles in a tree?
I've seen this in two movies now, "Because of Winn Dixie" and "The Princess and the Frog." I have a feeling it is probably something like a superstition in the South. However, I'm not sure, and I'm extremely curious. So, does anyone know? =]
Thanks!
The bottle tree was started in the deep south, mostly carried out by African Americans. Not sure what it meant to them but think it was a method of decorating a piece of their yard. Its still done in some locations, but not with the same meaning. Done more for nostalgia
