1. Redtape2 (663) | 1 year ago | I don't think we have any real traditions here in Jamaica. We celebrate New Year's Eve a little like the people in the United States do, which means lots of drinking, parties and fireworks mostly. I don't know of any superstitions some people might have either. I've never heard of any.

2. wifeofharvey (906) | 1 year ago | I am in the United States, and most people seem to celebrate with drinking and parties, lots of fire-works also. We live in the south and many people think you have to eat a dish of black-eyed peas to insure good luck for the new year. If that were true I would have nothing but bad luck-----I can't stand black-eyed peas, lolol. On a personal level---- when our children were home we had an open house on New Year's Day. It was also our daughter's birthday so of course gifts, cake and ice cream were part of the day. Now??? LOL, now we think the best way to celebrate anything is a good night's sleep, an EARLY good night's sleep.

3. sandymay16 (1330) | 1 year ago | There are lots of eating and drinking and lots of firecrackers and fireworks and lots of injuries too. There are also belated Christmas gift giving when one's so busy last Christmas and did not get home on time. Others go to church with all the family in tow. New Year's wishes and New year's resolutions are made too. I'm from the Philippines.

winterose (17874) | 1 year ago | yes the Philippines is in the article too

4. williamjisir (13154) | 1 year ago | Happy New Year, winterrose. We spend our New Year's Eve and new year based on our lunar month. We have a family get-together on New Year's Eve with a lot of delicious foods prepared for this day, which can be at lunch time or dinner time, based on the tradition of each household. We will have our lunar New Year's Eve on 25th of January, 2009. I am looking forward to its arrival.

whiteheather39 (13434) | 1 year ago | I forgot to mention we do not call it new year but Hogmanay. So we wish others a Braw Hogmanay instead of Happy New Year.

ellie333 (6793) | 1 year ago | Hi Whiteheather, I have wanted to knew the meaning of First Footin so thank you for explaining but can I ask why not a redhead through the door first? Huggles. Ellie:D

|
|
|
winterose (17874) | 1 year ago | yes the article mentions hogmanay and since then someone told me it goes back to a time when scotland was invaded by danes or something like that, and only brunettes could enter the house because they were scots

8. cynthiann (3145) | 1 year ago | The traditions vary where I live. some people gop to church to see the New Year in and others just walk the streets as the markets stay open very late. Others go to stage shows or watch fireworks as the clock reaches 12. Others party really hard and many stay at home just with the family and toast each other at midnight. No particular tradition really. Blessings
