Did you eat your Black Eyed Peas and Greens on New Years Day?

We had to stop at a Cracker Barrel on the road on the way back home after an EXTENSIVE holiday car trip to visit family. Sadly they were out of Black Eyed Peas and we had to do Pintos and Greens -- I am hoping the Fates will applaud my effort nonetheless.

Finally made big pot of Black Eyed Peas last night....
Let the Good Luck commence!

Do you all have any New Year traditions you want to share?

Black eyed peas and greens is not a tradition where I am from, so I've never had it on New Years Day. In one part of my family, NYD has become our Christmas (due to living far apart, traveling, etc.), so we have our traditional Christmas Day waffles (that my dad makes) on the 1st, before any gift exchanges. And also our traditional Christmas prime rib dinner on the evening of the 1st. Both traditions were kept this year.

No traditions to mention... But we did eat our brussels sprouts on Christmas Day! :)

yes, black-eyed peas. A friend forgot to eat hers last New Years, and was laid off twice before finding her current job, so she's now agreed this tradition is mandatory!
