Many people have New Year’s customs. My boyfriend’s family has traditional Japanese customs like eating noodles at midnight, so you start the new year out full. My family keeps the southern custom of eating black-eyed peas for good luck on New Year’s Day.
My New Year’s custom is to start the year reading. :D
