I've never heard these superstitions befor, but the one about cleaning your house by midnight explains a lot in my life! LOL.
Hell, my room is dirty all year anyway, so that saves me from having to clean it in time for the new year !
And I should be pretty damn lucky this coming year since I don't do dishes often anyway. I've let some luck accumulate.
I do hope for a good looking dark haired man to walk through my door wherever he is.
I am also moving on New Years, so wish me luck !
I have to admit, I've never heard of any of these superstitions before.
Happy New Year!
How can I pay bills AND not spend any money?
In response to Fireblossom: You are supposed to pay your bills by 12-31. You are not supposed to spend money on New Years Day.
The first six are the same ones we have here but havn't heard of the rest, I remember years ago Mother would never stop working on Auld Years Day as she cleaned the house from top to bottom, made the food for the New Year Party that always began with the first foot arriving just after midnight...Al changed these days...
Wishing you much Joy and Happiness throughout 2010
Love Sybil xx
There's no chance that I'll be home before 12:00 so I'd better leave Possum a note to Vacuum.
Grapes? Been there, comi eso!
If a dark-haired man comes into my house with fruit, there's a good chance he'll be shot, especially if he's wearing red or yellow underwear!
Prospero Ano!
