Traditions - Are You Wearing Something New?

I've never followed a New Year tradition so that I couldn't lose or disrespect any.

I don't have any New Years traditions but I like the idea of wearing something new.

Happy New Year, Anna. We don’t seem to have any special traditions in the USA, although we are a melting pot of many cultures. Those people certainly have their own traditions. On one of our vacations to Italy, we were told by our guide that the Italians threw dishes out of their windows on New Year’s Eve. Of course we didn’t see that from our hotel. Our family tradition is to call or FaceTime each other as soon as possible to wish each other a happy new year. Wearing red underwear is a way to end lower body problems. I learned that in a parapsychology class. Our dog had a problem, so I put him in red bikini undies and believe it or not, he was immediately cured! I never heard of wearing something new as a tradition, but I wear something new every day.

Actually I don't. I am wearing a pair of shorts I didn't remember I had, it almost like new.

Yes, we have a lot. Like for instance, you need to have a load of money inside your pocket in welcoming the new year.

Wearing a new dress ,taking headbath on the last day of the year is the tradition followed here .my granny follows it .

We don't have any New Year traditions that we follow. We always wear nice clothes on New Year's Eve, but we usually wear clothes that we find in our closet instead of buying new clothes.

Although I did not buy anything new because I did not see anything I liked and they were way overpriced for what they were. I was quite shocked at the prices one shop was charging for clothes that were like paper to the touch and tact. I try to keep the tradition as much as I can beautiful table setup by the way.

Today I am still in my green warm robe that belonged to my Mother RIP

Wearing polka dots has been a popular new year tradition here as it will bring some good luck like more money.

Not many new year traditions here, other than kissing your spouse or loved one at the stroke of midnight. I like the idea of wearing something new on the 1st. Maybe I will try that next year.

I have no tradition.

In my country most people follow certain traditions like wearing a new yellow underwear for prosperity, also when the clock strikes 12 at midnight on New Year's Day people stepped out their houses and carry a suitcase filled with clothes to bring travels among others. What I do is to be by the window and watch the dark sky and give thank God for another year, and wish the best for the new year ahead. Happy New Year (a little late by the way) :)

I am wearing a new T-shirt but that's more of a coincidence 'cos it was a Christmas gift.

None for me and my family. But the in-laws believe in gathering 12 round fruits for the Christmas basket on New Year for prosperity, but hubby and I don't believe in that.

When I was a child, my mom always wants us to wear something polka dots. Now that I am married, my husband I wear the lucky color of the year!

Red underwear for love I have never heard of this before.. we always start our Newyear in the church. Handed down through may generations..

My grandmother and mom both always fixed some kind of cabbage on New Years day. Supposed to give you money all year.

I'm more familiar with the idea of wearing something new for the bride on her wedding day, but I'm sure not many do the things in that poem or whatever it was from long ago. I know that I didn't worry about that. I don't have any new year tradition. Many years I've been working. I've gone in early before, but since most of the world sleeps in the morning would be boring. Now, with me working the afternoon shift it's busier since most people are by that time bored and getting out of their homes. I'm still not back to work yet, though. Just been doing a small amount of mylotting in between doing my bookwork which I'm trying to get accomplished before I do go back to work. Lovely table setting by the way. You sure love to be detailed when setting your table and other decorations.

I don't have any traditions handed down, but my personal tradition is not to cook on New Year's Day. I do all the cooking and preparation the day before. I used to have an open house on New Year's Day, but it wasn't attended, so I stopped having it. Though if people want to stop by, they're more than welcome.
