What New Year's traditions do you have? Do you eat black-eyed peas on New Year's day? Do you put a penny in the bowl? What about pork and sauerkraut? What about 12 grapes or having a man enter the house?

My New Year's tradition is to eat pork and sauerkraut and watch lots of football.

That's Gaelic. It has evolved in some places to having a man being the first person to telephone.

What's the penny in the bowl thing (and what bowl do you put it in?) And the grapes?

Tradition chez moi is black eyed peas.
