hey everybody, i want to say happy new years to all mylotters! ... what are your plans for new years? does your country have any special new years traditions?
i was talking to my husband who is in spain right now and he says there it is a tradition to turn the tv on 20 seconds before midnight and watch the countdown... when they get to 12 seconds they put one grape in there mouth and eat.. when it gets to 11 seconds they put another grape and 10 seconds so forth until 12 seconds are finished and its midnight... you then drink a glass of champaign. this tradition for the spanards is supposed to bring good luck for the new years.
meanwhile in north america here i think the tradition is just party and kiss your mate on the stroke of midnight.
whats your counties tradition on new years ?

Hi questionsnoanswers,
Oh, its nice to see you here, I have had a few drinks now and it 2.30 in the morning in 2009 so please forgive me if I have mispelled some words, nope I just stayed in and done a lot of mylotting and brought in the new year, we don't really have traditions here but just get the nearest person on hand and give them a new year kiss. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you.
Tamara
