Lentils
Lentils are associated with abundance and good fortune. Some people leave lentils on their doorstep, while others keep them in their purse or eat lentil soup before or right after midnight.
Red or Yellow Underwear
Some people believe that red underwear will bring them love in the New Year, while yellow underwear will bring money and happiness.
Grapes
During the 60 second countdown to 12:00, eat 12 grapes that each represent a wish. If you eat all 12 grapes in the 60 seconds, your wishes will come true in the New Year and you will have good luck.
Gold Ring in Your Drink
To give yourself extra luck, drop a gold ring in your drink before cheersing at midnight.
Burning Negative Thoughts
To get rid of any negative thoughts or bad energy, it is tradition to write a list of all the bad things that happened, or is currently happening, and burn the paper.
Pack a Suitcase
On New Year’s Day, you will probably see people walking around their neighborhoods with a suitcase. This is because people believe that this will promote traveling in the upcoming year. In their suitcases, they will pack clothes that are relevant to what kind of trip they want to take, such as a swimsuit if they want to go to a beach.
