OK…OK… so they are more like superstitions than traditions or maybe it’s all one of the same in the end, but being that I come from a long line of highly superstitious women, I’m not gonna take any chances and simply prefer to follow these “traditions” to insure I start off the New Year right ;)
#1 House must be dusted/cleaned and trash taken out before New Years, since after midnight nothing else can leave the House until after the First of the Year or you’ll be without the rest of the year.
#2 Stuff a handful of lentils in your pockets, purse, etc…Its suppose to insure abundance the following year.
#3 Wear yellow colored underwear to attract good luck or a new piece of clothing to insure new stuff will abound in the coming year.
#4 Jump off a chair or other piece of furniture and land on both feet, right at midnight, to make sure you are jumping into the New Year right.
#5 Make lots of noise and burn some sandalwood incense to chase negative energies and bad luck out of your home.
#6 Grab a piece of luggage and run around the block if you want to travel in the New Year.
#7 Eats 12 grapes right before midnight and have some champagne, be sure to toast and kiss/hug a loved one to keep your good fortune and love going all through the following year.
And while I may be ushering 2012 in by staying home nursing a case of the stomach flu :& uughh :& I will not be kept from doing all of the above to keep my traditions going, and with any luck, my good fortune as well ;)
Feliz Año Nuevo!!!
May 2012 be full of love, light and luck for all…Muchos xoxo’s and Ciao for now :*
