New Year's Day Superstitions/Traditions?

johns421unlv @johns421unlv (21) • United States 30 Dec 08

Does anyone have any good New Year's Eve or Day superstitions? I grew up eating black-eyed peas on January 1 because it's supposed to be good luck for the coming year. Any others?

johns421unlv I had never heard of the man being the first one to come into the house. I'll make it a point, just for good measure!

I miss traveling!!!!

johns421unlv @johns421unlv (21) • United States 30 Dec 08

Oh my goodness! I miss travel but simply can't afford to go anywhere this year. If I could, I would go to Japan to check out the churches of Tadao Ando around Osaka. Or I would go to the Maldives and snorkel my brains out. Maybe...

Who Knows? What kind of God do you believe in?

johns421unlv I'm going to be alone for New Year's too but I've decided to change the way I look at it. This New Year's is clearly intended to be one of introspection for both of us, right? Maybe you can greet the new year by meditating on what you want for the world, for...
