stanz, don't dispair...you may yet have a chance to wear those red drawers...
Mexico In Mexico, many people usually gather with their relatives and friends to celebrate the new year. On New Year's Eve, we have some special customs. For example, we turn on the TV and wait to see or hear the bell ringing twelve times. Each time the bell rings, we eat one grape and make a wish. Then we hug each other and wish each other a Happy New Year. Some people, especially women, wear red underwear meaning you will find love in the next year. There are also people who take out their suitcases and walk around the block, meaning they wish they could travel next year. There's also a custom on January 6th to eat a special cake with a hole in it and a small toy inside. The person who gets the piece with this tiny kid is supposed to make a special food on February 5th.
A new tradition is giving The Clinton Legacy Cookbook to bring good luck and great food throughout the coming year!!!
I have had a few family members do just that...yuck They were alone most of the time on New Year Eve.. do you think there was any correlation....hmmmmm ;o)
