Happy New Year! I was prompted to look up superstitions for starting a New Year. The southerner in me is required to have black eyed peas cooked with ham and a dime. Today, I made pasta and clams. Does this mean a bad year?
The quick list of "Oh no you didn't" for New Years Day.......
- If you wash clothes today, a family member will die in the following year. Well, I wash on New Years frequently.
- No crying or whining on New Years day. Is there any reality to this? If you start with drama it will end with drama. Why risk it? Stress causes wrinkles anyway......
- Do not take trash or anything out of your home . This superstition will cause you to loose things during the year. This one could be true, or maybe I just loose stuff all the time.
- Never lend money or buy anything . It causes you to loose money during the year. Really? No Starbucks to start off 2014?
- Always work on the first day of the year. It causes you to be productive. I agree, you should always work., but what about #4 ?. Who can work without caffeine?
If you are superstitious, do everything to create good luck in the New Year. If you aren't, I hope you found these somewhat amusing. I do......
