Do you have any New Year's Eve traditions to bring you good luck in the new year? My mom always said to eat 12 grapes at midnight, one for each month of hte upcoming year, to bring good luck. Here's a few you may not have heard of:
- Black-Eyed Pease - Are supposed to bring good luck in the new year, if you eat 365 black-eyed pease on New Year's Day.
- Greens- Collard greens are the color of money so they're thought to bring a prosperous year ahead.
- Onions- The Greek tradition of hanging a bag of onions on your door is meant to symbolize growth and rebirth in the new year.
- Champagne- in Europe drinking it at special occasions dates back to the 16th century and is thought of as a symbol of luxury.
- Tamales- In Mexico tamales are a big family tradition and represent family.
- Rice- Is a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
