New Year's Day Question
Do you fix something that is traditional or supposed to bring good luck on New Year's Day?
Where I'm from black-eyed peas are supposed to bring luck. And greens. I like greens, but hate black-eyed peas. My mom used to force me to eat a couple every year for whatever protection they could provide. Now I make a 15 bean soup with a few of those dreaded peas in it and poke down a couple. I used to work with a lovely lady from Mexico. Her family always ate 12 grapes on New Year's. I and my taste buds embraced her tradition. :)
At midnight we each have a white tile that we write down a word we want to incorporate into our lives for that year. We put our tile where we can see it all year and reflect on what we want to add or subtract from our lives. If it's been a difficult year we will write down things we want to let go of on a slip of paper and burn them out in the grill.
How do you celebrate?
Wishing you lots of delicious food and great joy for 2020!
