-We get balloons that both say 2008 and 2009. At midnight we pop all the 2008 balloons and make a wish as we let go of all the 2009 balloons.
- We do an extensive cleaning of the house and then take a bath in lavender and roses. This is to cleanse ourselves from the bad things of the previous year.
- We must buy entirely new outfits to wear in order to start the new year in a new pair of clothes. This gives luck for new things.
-The whole family must wear the same color underwear. I have no clue why, but my mom strictly enforces it and even checks everyone.  |
OH MY GOD!! I laughed and laughed at this list. That is the funniest thing!!! Our tradition is my brothers family and my family head to my mom's house...we eat chinese food...i can barely keep my eyes open til midnight (usually my mom is waking me up at the countdown) ....i down a glass of champagne and look over to hubby and say..START THE CAR!!!
