We have Pork and Sauerkraut (and mashed potatoes) New Years Day just because we like it and thats what we ate on New Years our whole lives here in PA. Its the only day we eat it (try not to eat much meat anymore).
Its supposed to be good luck, but I dont believe its good luck or anything is good luck. Because my loving and amazing Mom died in January of 79 at age 51.

Grapes are for good fortune each month. I think it is Spanish. You must eat 12 grapes before the clock stops donging twelve times. Hint- Pook for small grapes.hahaha

We always have Chinese food on New Years day and it needs to include something with Pork for good luck. Ideally pork would be the first thing you would eat on new year's day according to the superstition.

We have been known to follow some traditions. They remind me of family members that are no longer with me and bring me joyful memories. We do eat pork, greens, hoppin john, corn bread. Someone here posted a recipe for pork chops and saurkraut cooked in a slow cooker. It is so good we eat it whenever we want it. We do have a first footer that brings us gifts at the stroke of midnight and is the first to enter the door. We have done the midnight cacophony ( pot banging) and let the old year out one door and the new in another door. A couple of years I got a little too eager and tried to do too many. I have returned to the ones that bring me memories of my family. It is good to have a day where they are thought of with love.
Everything is cooked before the first so we have more time for family I can not imagine not eating hoppin john. It represents surviving great obstacles as well as health, balance of life and having enough coins. It is fun to read about others traditions.
On New Years Day we walk the labyrinth and take our concerns written on paper and burn them in the middle to release them to above.
