New Years’ Traditions and Superstitions

On New Year’s Day we also have black-eyed peas, the legume not the group, because they are associated with bringing you good luck.  We will also eat cabbage or sauerkraut, and pork or sometimes corned beef.  We don’t really practice any other traditions regulars but we have learned about some that others take as serious as our “black-eyed pea” tradition.  Here’s some fun links for different traditions and superstitions from all around the place!
