New Year's Eve/Day tradition

I always find it interesting how people across the country ring in the New Year.

For as long as I can remember, my family always celebrated New Year's day at my yellow (she had blonde hair, and my other granny was red granny because she was a redhead) granny's house with plenty of finger foods, and it was required to eat black-eyed peas for good luck.

We also put money on our front porch on NYE (a dollar, a quarter) to bring prosperity to our household. It never worked, we were poor in money, but rich in family love.

I still carry these traditions out with my husband and son. We rarely go out on NYE, but have been considering it this year.

As for John's family, they eat cabbage rolls. I decided this year to incorporate these into our New Year's day menu. I'm not terribly excited to try them, but I know it's important to John.

My best friend in Virginia enjoys black-eyed peas and I believe collard greens on New Year's day. Black-eyed peas for good luck, and greens for a prosperous new year.

So, my question to you all is, what are your traditions on ringing in the New Year?
