    In the southern USA, the old traditional New Year's Day meal is hog jowls or ham hock for good luck, collard or turnip greens for plenty of "greenbacks" (folding money), & black-eyed peas for plenty of "silver" (coins). Our family also has "cracklin' " cornbread (cornbread with chopped, fried pork skin in the mix) to crumble into the black-eyed peas on our plates. And always remember the 1st rule of cooking: just because something doesn't LOOK all that appetizing, doesn't mean it ain't DELICIOUS. I mean REALLY! Most seafood lovers ADORE raw oysters on the 1/2-shell, but honestly, they look like someone hocked a huge loogie up on a seashell. They are AWESOME though! Thanks for your reaction.

    Starting in 1929, the Royal Canadians began broadcasting live from the Roosevelt Grill in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City as "radio's first nationwide New Year's Eve broadcast". Invariably, each broadcast closed with Lombardo's rendition of the song Auld Lang Syne as part of the annual New Year's Eve tradition. The broadcasts proved to be immensely popular and continued from this venue until 1959 when they were transferred to the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where they continued until 1976. GUY LOMBARDO HE DIE NOV 1977. he did it 47 yrs until his death.

    Despite half my family being from the deep south and the other half from Pennsylvania, we never did any New Year's "traditions" for luck. As far as celebrating goes, my husband is an OTR truck driver and hasn't been home on New Year's Eve/Day for more than a decade, I watch sports in my recliner until I fall asleep. When I wake up, I check the scores, send a "Happy New Year" meme to family and friends, and go to bed. Excitement abounds!

    I agree with your wife. You never clean on New Years or you're washing away the good luck. It is, however, proper to clean on NYE, so you wash away the bad luck from the last year. As a Southerner, we also standard NYday foods: Ham, Black Eyed Peas (the beans, not the band) for luck, and collard greens for money. It does drive my hubby a little nuts that we don't rinse off the dishes until after midnight on Jan 2nd. And never laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, or any type of cleaning.

    We have black eyed peas with cornbread in my family, often also with turn or collard greens. We cook the peas with bacon and top them with boiled okra.

    There is sparkling (non alcoholic) wine in the US. I wasn't aware Laurance found a need to abstain but good luck to him.

    Black Eyed Peas (luck/coins), corn bread (just tastes good), and greens (dollars bills) are delicious together.
    We have other types of food to, but the black eyed peas and the greens are the main ones we tend to have.

    I don't think I've ever known anyone who celebrated New Year's, except ironically. Every New Year's Eve party I've ever known was just dinner. Some people, families with children often, stay up to watch the hype at midnight, but nobody sensible participates. Only idiots go out. I have a friend who goes to AA meetings, and apparently they all call New Year's Eve "amateur night," for all the drunk people that can't handle drinking. More deaths that night than any other night of the year. Yay, let's party.

  • @ShadowAnimeation

    My family has a tradition/superstition that however things are on New Years Day, that is how they will be the rest of the year. So for example if your house is dirty, then you're going to struggle all year to keep your house clean. If you are super stressed out, you'll deal with a lot of stress, etc. So we always do a super good clean the weekend before New Years and try to have as chill of a day as possible, etc. So that our year goes good.
