My mother in law told me about a tradition in her family, and we have carried it into our family. Before midnight you place dimes on the window sill so Father Time can bless them at the stroke of midnight. After midnight, you wrap the dimes in aluminum foil and keep them in a safe place, so as not to spend it. You carry it with you all year for good luck.
And she also told me something about burning a red candle and then a white one at midnight. I think. I'd have to ask her about this one.
