The end of the year is almost here and a lot of people are getting ready to bring in the New Year. Some people are not superstitious but as soon as it gets close to the new year they will do anything to bring luck and good fortune for the new year.
Every family and culture has its own superstitions, but many people can agree on the superstition of the color of your underwear.
In the Latino community, this is one of the biggest superstition. Wearing yellow underwear will bring in money, wearing red underwear will bring love for the new year. So if you need luck in any of these things make sure to wear the correct color!
Have you ever tried eating twelve grapes? Another tradition is to eat twelve grapes during the first twelve chimes of the bell or twelve seconds of the new year and making a wish. Unless you have a lot of room in your mouth I don't recommend this one, I almost choked... Do this at your own risk! If you accomplish eating the 12 grapes and making a wish, this superstition is supposed to make your wish come true in the twelve months coming.
Who else cleans the entire house before the new year? It is believed that you have to bring in the new year with a clean house and no dirty laundry.
