New Year's Day Traditions

[Orema]

Eating black-eye peas for good luck and greens (collards for me) for money.

Also, opening the year with a house that’s spic and span. I did everything but fold the laundry—will get to that later today.

Eating chit’lin’s is also a tradition in my family, but I didn’t order any this year. I’ll miss having some with hot sauce.

Talking to family on the phone. It’s not a tradition but it’s something I do on most holidays since I don’t live close to family.
