Work: Make sure to do — and be successful at — something related to your work on the first day of the year, even if you don't go near your place of employment that day. Limit your activity to a token amount, though, because to engage in a serious work project on that day is very unlucky.

Ooookay. We're doing an inventory of the entire store on Jan 1. Should I worry?

New Clothes: Wear something new on January 1 to increase the likelihood of your receiving more new garments during the year to follow.

Will do! (Have to buy some new socks or something tomorrow.)

Breakage: Avoid breaking things on that first day lest wreckage be part of your year. Also, avoid crying on the first day of the year lest that activity set the tone for the next twelve months.

Again, with the inventory... stuff breaks. I'll have to be careful!

I have no superstitions like that, but a few TV traditions. The year can't start properly until I've watched the new Year's Day concert from Vienna (Strauss!) and the skijumping from Garmish-Partenkirchen.
