    this is going to be the first year since i was born that i wont be having black eye peas, cabbage, greens, fried chicken and corn bread on new year's day.

    i do plan on having it over the weekend though :happy:

    another tradition i like is Swedish. they eat lots of seafood on new year's day especially lobster

    Coffee, but that's more of a daily tradition for me.

    All the people saying how you spend your New Year's day sets the tone for your entire year is depressing me... I am currently at work (granted, I'm not actually WORKING....), so it's gonna be a gloomy year!

    As far as food - gotta get as much luck in as possible! Pork (in this case, ham), collard greens, black eyed peas. Also sweet potatoes, which I do not think are a good luck food, but they should be, given how amazing they are.

    Also, coffee, water, and ibuprofen, but that has more to do with last night than today's activities.

    Edited for a typo

    On New Year's day, it is traditional to eat leftovers, same as Christmas...

    Traditional food for New Year's Eve (and Christmas Eve) would be sour cabbage rolls (didn't have any this year), sour cabbage with sour cream, fried sausage and beef salad (usually made with chicken).

    Black-eyed peas, sauerkraut (= cabbage). I don't eat meat, so don't do the pork.
    As far as other traditions go, I follow my grandmother, who unfortunately did not throw wheat around the room, but put new shoes and new money outside the door just before midnight. Supposed to bring you the same in the New Year.

    Sauerkraut, pork, hot dogs, and kielbasa here, with mashed potatoes. I originate from northwestern PA and that's our traditional New Year's dinner!

    It usually starts off with strong black coffee then wing it from there.

    Same here. No standard traditional food. Just another normal day here. I might make up a batch of chicken soup...

    Along with the traditional pork and sauerkraut, with both me and my husband both being runners we always bring in the new year with a nice run together.
