My dear friend Melissa found my last meme depressing, so I’ve decided to post a more upbeat one just for her.
Choc Mint Girl tagged me for this meme about New Year’s good luck traditions.
Rule:
Copy the person and persons’ names that sent it to you and add your own at the bottom of the list. It really helps to build community.
Let’s start it here!
*My mom used to collect some coins and when the new year comes she put the coins in a bowl and shake it to create sounds. She said its good luck for money throughout the year. And also wearing dotted dresses on new year don’t know why. CC/chalyza/keep
*My old folks always told us to avoid spending money on new years day. They said, once you spend on the first day of the year, you like to spend the rest of the year. Behind d Scenes of ME/ Retchel’s Pure Life/ A little bit of me
*I grew up believing that if you have some money on your pocket (whatever you’re wearing) come New Year’s eve it will ensure steady flow of income throughout the year. The other belief is that the main door of the house should be wide open come New Year’s eve so that good luck will be ushered in. Juliana of MY WORLD and JULIANA’S LAIR.
*I don’t know if what I am about to write is a new year’s tradition or not. In my place, most people will ‘jump’ into the sea or take a shower as soon as the clock strikes to 12 in New Year’s Eve to get rid of all the bad lucks in the previous year. ;D ~ CHOC MINT GIRL~
*Like most other East Tennesseans, I always have a side of blackeyed peas with my dinner on New Year’s Day. - Tish of The Kat House

What a neat and yes, upbeat, meme! Sadly I don’t really have any traditions anymore, but I’ll think of something. Thanks for the tag, Tish.

Interesting tag! Thank you for tagging me: to do it or not to do it, that is the question! We will see :D!
I am well, and from what I see, you are doing well too :D!

This is a neat meme. I don’t really know any new years traditions so these are interesting to read.
