A little old lady told me not to take out the garbage on New Year’s day as it could signal trouble for the year to come. Now I am not superstitious, but have you heard any such superstitions?

I will post “rabbit rabbit” on Facebook when I wake up tomorrow.
A Hogmanay tradition is that first man that women kiss in the new year should be a dark haired Scotsman. I am available to bring good luck for the year.
My Mom used to tell me when I was a kid that if we got a whipping on New Year day, that would set the pattern; and we will get them all year long!
Well, I took out trash today, so no worries on that score. I will be making blackeyed peas; eating them is supposed to bring good luck in the coming year. @hearkat I haven’t heard of those either, but I guess I’d better be prudent, and skip doing any laundry tomorrow;-)
