As you know, I am from Brasil, and as a good Brasilian, there are a ton of good luck rituals we do tonight for good luck in the New Year - I was wondering if this is mainly a Brasilian thing, or if anyone here does too?
Here are the typical things:
1- we spend the NYE in White. We dress all white... now, the underware..... here is the deal (MUST BE NEW!!)
white - good luck in general
pink/red - Love
yellow - Money
well, tonight I will be wearing the three of them
Food: We must eat Lentil Soup - that will bring good luck for $$$. I didn't last year, and got completely screwed... not playing around this year
.
Also, Eat one pomegranate, and keep 6 of the seed in your wallet for good luck.
Bay leaves - write your wishes on bay leaves, and keep them all year on your wallet. Just throw them away in the Next NYE. (all wishes need to be written by midnight).
At midnight, you need to be standing on your RIGHT FOOT. This is of utmost importance!
So.... I am going to Target now to pick up my new undies, bay leaves, and steal a pomegranete from the neighbors fence
.
What about you, any rituals????
for everybody for a wonderful new year!!!
