I knew about the black-eyed peas for good luck, but just heard another one for the new year.

New Year's Eve night, you place whatever you want to be blessed with in the following year, such as money, food, etc., outside. New Year's Day, the FIRST time you go out, you bring that something in the house. I am told that if you go out and do not bring it in the FIRST time, it makes it null and void. In other words, you can't go out and get the newspaper, come back in and say, "Oooops! I'll be right back," and go then retrieve the momento.

I'm going to put some wisdom in a box and bring it in New Year's Day. LOL

What, if any, rituals do you practice for New Years?

I greet the New Dawn, and the New Year, with a little 'worshipping' of my own...

The first wave, on the first Dawn, of a New Year.

Whisper and Jess
Just wanted to say Happy Holidays if I don't catch either of you on here after today.

Hey, Jess.......it has got to be heck trying to catch that FIRST wave! LOL There are so many!!

**I'm going to put Johnny Depp on my doorstep New Year's Eve night! LOL

Merry Christmas, dear lady!!!

my new years day ritual consits of recovering from a hangover and m&m overdose.

at midnight i crank up my stereo as loud as possible 2 piss off the neighboors news years is just an excuse

I'll probably be outside on the front porch laid out with my keys in hand cause I couldn't find my way in from the night before. So looks like I'm set for the blessing already. Hope I don't get stepped on.

I don't do anything for new years. I don't drink, play music, or do much. My friend wants to do something this year so maybe I will. I like to make "goals" for the year which i think I can achieve hopefully.
