This thread is dedicated to our Little Tater Tot and Supraman and PSR and Bringmepie and everybody else including myself who needs a little or a lot of good luck in their lives this coming year. There are many customs, traditions, and superstitions out there which people do every year to bring them good luck in the New Year.
1. My mom makes black eyed peas every year for New Years because eating them is suppose to bring you good luck. It is a southern tradition. She makes the dried ones and cooks them with ham or salt pork, but I have seen canned ones as well as frozen ones. If you have never had them, they are definitely and acquired taste, but not so bad that everyone could not choke down a few spoonfuls.
2. I also recently read that you should eat 12 grapes for luck; one for each month of the year or some associate them with each chime of the clock at midnight.
3. Some cultures believe in eating things that form a circle like a donut or round pretzels or Cheerios.
4. If possible eat pork for luck on the New Years. Pigs are said to root forward when they eat while chickens scratch backward and cows stand still.
5. Eating noodles on New Years brings longevity.
6. The Chinese believe you should not use sharp objects such as knives or scissors on New Years because if you do it will cut off your New Years good fortune.
7. Write down your wishes on paper and burn them so they will come true.
8. Do not remove anything from the house New Years Day, including trash or you will lose things all through the year.
9. Put gold jewelry in your champagne glass and drink for wealth.
10. Houseclean before midnight and sweep out bad luck from the old year with the dust. Do not clean New Years Day or you could sweep away the New Year’s good fortune.
11. Hold a piece of silver or gold as the New Year begins for prosperity.
12. Scatter coins and paper bills on the front door to attract luck and fortune.
13. Put a penny on the windowsill for prosperity.
14. Place a silver coin over the door.
15. Wear green the color of money and carry coins and paper bills in your pockets to bring wealth. the larger the bills the better.
16. If the first visitor after midnight is a tall dark haired handsome man you will have good luck all year. If it is a red haired woman the year will be stressful and you will have bad luck.
For Supraman
17. Wear yellow underwear backward to attract a mate. It also attracts positive energy.
18. If you wear red underwear it will bring love in the coming year.
(Hun, I'm screwed. I don't have any red underwear or yellow ones. I had a pair of yellow ones, but I lost them somewhere or the washer ate them.)
If anyone has more to add, please do so. Some of us need all the luck we can get.
