new years superstitions and stuff

[dustinzgirl]

So, my family says that if I dont cook and EAT black eyed pea soup for new years, then I will have bad luck. Yeah, there a bunch of hillbillies. Anyways, I hate black eyed peas and Im not much of a soup person. So, fuck it, this year can not possible be worst than the last 27 where I had crap soup.

guh, black eyed pea soup is disgusting. I've never heard of that tradition before, is it just in your family? Or maybe its an american thing...

Never heard that before. Matter of fact, I never knew New Years had superstitions attached to it, and I'm not a superstitious person.

Isn't there some New Year's superstition about eating chicken on New Year's Day?

Not from what I know...

Funny coincidence, we are having Black eyed Pea soup for dinner...MMMmmmm...my favorite! My family is made up of the least superstitious people on Earth. We have never belived in ONE little bit of superstition.
