We didn't really have any New Years traditions in my family. My mom had this one thing but it was more of a superstition--that if you did laundry on New Years then you'll be washing the clothes of someone who will be dead by the end of the year. I don't know if that's an honest-to-goodness superstition or just an excuse for her to get out of doing laundry for just one day a year.
Of course I watch a lot of football but I do that anyway, New Years or not. That doesn't count.
So, I"m starting a tradition, for myself, for this coming New Years. I'm going to have surf 'n' turf for my afternoon meal for New Years. Got a nice New York Strip at the grocery, along with some shrimp, today. Damn, I'm getting hungry thinking about it . . . gotta wait, though. Something to look forward to!
What about you? Do you have any special family traditions, superstitions, meals, or whatever, that you do on New Years?

I only have one tradition. That no matter where I am or who I am with, whatever I am doing when the clock strikes midnight, is what I will be doing the rest of the year. This year, I am hoping to be celebrating. That way maybe 2011 will be something to celebrate.
