Well, New Year's has never really been that big a deal in my house... so there aren't many traditions that we uphold.
The main tradition that you have to keep in mind is that we all hold a piece of silver in our hands as the new year turns, usually some coinage. Holding a silver coin is supposed to bring you luck and prosperity for the new year.
Other than that... we just sit around and watch movies, eat shrimp cocktail, drink wine, and generally relax.
AND, our other major tradition is for New Year's day... we eat pork and sauerkraut for dinner. Sauerkraut because we're Polish, and pork because for some reason or another, eating pork on New Year's day is supposed to be good luck as well.
So, I guess the short of it is... our traditions are about bringing luck. Amen.
