New Years..the first year I've had off in a longtime to celebrate..

Whoa..that would overwhelm me.. but it looks like some fun! (I watched the video from the link) So interesting how people celebrate things in so many different ways... I didn't know foods were lucky either. Been missing out it seems..lol

In Greece, when the clock strikes midnight there is no ball drop, but rather a pomegranate is smashed on the floor in front of the door… OPA! The pomegranate breaks open revealing the beautiful color and seeds. So, like, it’s the same thing as a ball drop, right? The seeds symbolize prosperity and good fortune so the more seeds, the better. The red color also represents the human heart, which denotes life and fertility.

The Spanish and Portuguese believe that they must eat 12 grapes at midnight, one for each month of the calendar year. The rule is that you’re supposed to make a wish on each grape to ensure a lucky month. Some Spaniards even create a little competition with the eating of the grapes.

I think those are my two favorite so far out of the ones I've read..

Thanks for showing me something different...
