Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I am wondering what people's New Year traditions are, around the US and beyond? We are both past our partying days, so we'll have a quiet evening at home. Many of our neighbors will shoot firecrackers, so we will spend a lot of time reassuring the dogs that the world is not coming to an end. We will have a meal including black-eyed peas and cabbage. My grandmother said that the tradition of black-eyed peas bringing good luck went back to the days when people lived from their gardens/farms. If you still had plenty of dried peas to prepare in January, you were likely to have enough to get you through to spring. I have heard that cabbage is symbolic of money. What do you do on your side of the pond, Fred? Alyce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
