It originated thousands of years ago in ancient Babylon, celebrated as an eleven day festival on the first day of spring. During this time, many cultures used the sun and moon cycle to decide the first day of the year. It wasn’t until Julius Caesar implemented the Julian calendar that January 1st became the common day for the celebration. ]]> 2019-01-12 02:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319909446 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319910094 2019-01-12 02:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319910094 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319910787 Learn more about the Ball! just follow the link below]]> 2019-01-12 02:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319910787 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319911929 Learn more about New Years Eve following the link below!]]> 2019-01-12 02:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319911929 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319912115 2019-01-12 02:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319912115 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319963313 In the Philippines it’s all about the cash.

Choose traditional black-eyed peas, lentils or beans to make a dish seasoned with pork, ham or sausage. Greens resemble money, specifically folding money. Make dishes using boiled cabbage or sauerkraut, collard greens, kale, chard, mustard greens, turnip greens or other green, leafy vegetables to ensure good fortune for the coming year. Pork is considered a sign of prosperity in some cultures because pigs root forward. This is probably the reason many Southern New Year's Day dishes contain pork or ham. Cornbread might symbolize gold, and besides, it is essential with black-eyed peas and greens. In other cultures, fish, grapes, and ring-shaped cakes or doughnuts or cakes with special treats inside symbolize luck.]]> 2019-01-12 21:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319985031 waltonm09303 https://padlet.com/waltonm09303/4i6poh370wn2/wish/319987890

The tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight comes from Spain. Revelers stuff their mouths with 12 grapes in the final moments of the year—one grape for every chime of the clock!

In the southern US, black-eyed peas and pork foretell good fortune. 

Eating any ring-shaped treat such as a doughnut symbolizes coming full circle and leads to good fortune. In Dutch homes, fritters called olie bollen are served.
