Repeat of Last Year - New Years To Do List

I had put this on my blog at the end of December of last year. I followed every one religiously and had a better year. I will have to say that I had a great business and personal year with some good twists. I did have some things that did not happen as I wanted them to (pregnancy) but I do know that it is in God's hands and the answers will come at some point. I just have to be strong enough to listen to them and see where they lead me.

Anywhoo. Here is that list again!!

How To Have Good Luck In The New Year!!!

I am superstitious. That is one thing to know about me. So this is important.

We had an okay year. There have been some struggles and some good things to come. I am very nervous yet excited about the new year. So I went on line and found these items. Hopefully it will bring great luck to us all.

Another one that is not on here is to eat only pork on New Years Eve and New Years Day. No chicken at all!!!! The pork is also pushing ahead where the chicken is scratching back into the previous year.

Suffice it to say, these will all be used. In some form or another.

Read what I have found on YAHOO below:

Traditionally, with the New Year’s Day approaching, people become more superstitious when it comes to luck. All around the globe there are so many traditions and customs that are supposed to bring good luck to folks. Many persons believe strongly in these good luck-bringing customs and they never forget to repeat them year after year. Here are some of these actualized good luck traditions. Hope to bring you good luck!

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You'll Need
to be superstitious
optimism
to be open minded

Steps

Step One - An interesting good luck custom is to eat fish specialties at the New Year’s Eve Party! It is said that you’ll swim through the New Year like a fish. You will be able to move smoothly and easily and go beyond obstacles with facility in the New Year.

Step Two - At midnight, between the year ready to conclude and the one to follow, make sure you have some money in your pocket or purse. If the New Year finds you with money in your pocket, you’ll not miss them in the year to come.

Step Three - Another good luck custom is to wear something new on New Year’s Eve. You don’t have to buy the entire outfit for the New Year’s Eve Party; it’s enough to have one new item. The proper way to welcome the New Year is by wearing something new.

Step Four - The Dutch are eating donuts on New Year’s Day. They say donuts bring fortune because they have the shape of the ring, which symbolizes the full circle, the year’s cycle. If you don’t want donuts as New Year treat, you can try any ring-shaped food, like onion rings for example.

Step Five - Make sure you have a bell in your proximity, to announce the New Year. It’s a proper way to welcome the New Year and, guess what, it will bring you fortune.

Step Six - Be aware at the first visitor on New Year’s Day! He or she would bring either good luck or bad luck. It is said that if the first person who visit is a tall, dark-haired man, he will bring good luck to the house and hosts.

Step Seven - It’s a very well-known New Year’s custom to make a lot of noise by organizing fireworks, confetti showers and striking crackers on the night between years. This way, it is said that the old year is getting scared and runs away, making room for the new one. So, be noisy on New Year’s Eve, scare away the concluded year and prepare yourself for the beginning of a lucky one!
