Traditions

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I don't know about you, but I'm ready for 2025!

Having been raised in Texas, I grew up with the tradition of eating black-eyed peas and cabbage on New Year's day - the peas for luck, and the cabbage for money (financial prosperity in the coming year). I think my business plan has a better chance of making me rich than a bowl of veggies, but I'm covering all my bases. LOL

What about you? What traditions do you and your family observe?

New Year's Day, hubby cooks a rib roast. He's been doing this for several years. I wouldn't say it brings good luck or fortune, but it is tasty and I look forward to it.

Nice, Julie! Hubby and I take it easy on New Year's. We call relatives who live out of the area and then maybe take a walk and eat takeout. :)
