I had a few rituals before new years..mostly filipino traditions, but we haven't followed them for a while.
You must wear polka dots, or something that has circles--represents money, you must have change in your pocket, again, money.. You must have round fruit on display at your table, along with a bowl of cotton balls, again money, or I guess prosperity. Wow, everything is so money centered..haha.
You have to jump at midnight, supposedly to make you taller, but after all the years I've tried that, I haven't grown an inch.
Yeah I know these don't really work, but they're things we've done for a long time. I guess it's kind of like santa, the easter bunny or even the tooth fairy, none of these entities actually exist but it serves a point of hope...something to believe in.....
