New Year's Traditions (superstitions) |
Urban Legends and Old Wive's Tales
|
There are so many Traditions and superstitions connected with the New Year it's almost impossible to keep them all straight. My family has several traditions that have taken root over the years.
Men First The first person to enter your house during the New Year should be a male. A woman will bring strife if she is the first to enter. Hoard Everything You are not supposed to let anything leave your house on the first day of the year including trash! It will start a pattern of loss. Start the Year Debt-free You are supposed to start the year in the black, If you have debts on New Year's day you will be in debt all year. The New Year's meal Black eyed peas and collards greens are supposed to be eaten on new years day. Black eyed peas are supposed to be lucky and the collard greens represent money! If you have New Years traditions or superstitions please share them! get protected before it happens to you |

| Beth, thanks for stopping by. I love black eyed-peas and collards. The only way to cook either one correctly is to start with good smoked hamhocks! get protected before it happens to you  Group Administrator

| I’ve heard of black eyed peas (I’d better check to make sure we have some.) but the rest are new to me.
I knew there had to be a reason for all this bad luck. Thanks for the info! Lee Poulson 580-995-3138 www.getpaidtochangetheworld.biz |
