New Year's Traditions

Hiya! Happy New Year! New Year's Traditions - My family always ate black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Why? I haven't a clue. Another family I knew on New Year's Day, always ate black-eyed peas and collard (did I spell that right?) greens.

My mother-in-law (of South Pacific ethnicity) places coins on all her window sills on New Years' Eve. This is believed to attract more money into the new year. What am I doing this year? I'm making black-eyed peas (I still haven't a clue why!) and German Bierox (why? because I'm hungry for them!) for New Years' Dinner! I can't stand collard greens, and I'd put money on the window sills, but my 3-yr-old picks up every coin she sees anywhere and hides it in her bank!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
