Only tradition in my family is one LARGE bottle of some fine liquor is bought November 1st and shared throughout the following holidays. The last shots of the bottle are drank at the stroke of New Years followed up by many kisses, ones date (providing one has one) receiving the first kiss, but no one is going without a kiss!
This bottle is known as the "Family Holiday Spirits". The first folk to take a shot from it give toast to those that could not be with us and to those that have past. There after it is used when there is cheer to be had (no bad spirits allowed). |

We can always learn new things from others and it is always fascinating to hear what other family do. |

Blackeyes peas sybolize the coins.Turnip,mustard,kale or whatever other greens symbolize the paper money and pork is supposed to symbolize luck because it is said poor families were lucky to have any of these. Therefore if you eat these as your traditional New Year supper and pray for them,then you will have more of these in the year ahead. Just what I've grown up hearinng...

Stuffed sauerkraut. That sounds interesting!
We have black-eyed peas and pork. You were supposed to make as much money as the number of peas you ate. Guess it started when $40 was a good year! |
