Usually dress up for new years. This year is a different story though. It's my first year celebrating with my girlfriends family and each and every single one of them excluding my girlfriend gets on my nerves.

Hey, maybee! I'm gonna do it again this year and see what happens.
Looks like this year i'll be at throwing pennies from someone's front door!LOL!! Sorry, but if Lahtina got that, maybe i'll get something good as well!!
But when do you start eating girl??? Luego you will choke jajaja be careful!!! We start eating then 12 minutes to midnight ... so then by midnight your hands are free and you just go around hugging and kissing on the cheek ...
Good technique , I will try to remember it for this new year if I am still in my senses, lol

@ DG: we eat them right at 12... so its like a mad rush to eat the grapes and hug at the same time. Its craziness I tell ya!
But to answer the question: Yup! Gotta dress up for New years! Brings you a fresh 'new' start to the New Year.
I dont know if this is true, but I heard somewhere that the Asian community settles all their debt before the New Year so that they can start fresh for another year. I wish I could do that

Si quieres agregarle un toque mágico para recibir tu nuevo año, aquí colocamos una lista de las prácticas más arraigadas en la cultura criolla.
Las doce uvas: Cada persona debe comerse las uvas antes de las doce de la noche, si es posible una por campanada y pedir un deseo distinto en cada bocado, nada fácil, ¿no?
Comer lentejas: Para llamar la fortuna y la prosperidad muchos venezolanos comen un plato de lentejas. Hay quienes se conforman con una cucharada para poder degustar de la cena en la noche.
Usar ropa interior amarilla: Esta es quizás, junto con las doce uvas, una de las costumbres más populares. No es raro ver las prendas de ropa interior amarilla en los comercios de la ciudad y en los vendedores informales. El uso del color amarillo busca atraer las buenas energías para el año entrante.
Más dinero: Hay quienes para garantizar la disposición monetaria reciben el año con un manojo de billetes entre sus manos.
Viajes: Para realizar el viaje de sus sueños la gente sale de su casa después de las doce con las maletas o bolsos de mano.
Espigas: El uso de espigas para adornar la casa traerá paz y buena suerte para los miembros del hogar.
Velas: También es frecuente el uso de una vela encendida para recibir el año y garantizar armonía y paz en el hogar.
Piedras: En muchos hogares se escogen tres pequeñas piedras que simbolizan salud, amor y dinero.
Purificar el alma: Darse un baño de esencias para purificar el alma y recibir el año ligero, se ha puesto de moda con la entrada del nuevo milenio. Existe diversidad de aromas para cada caso y los más recomendados son: mandarina para la prosperidad y el dinero, rosas para el amor, y sándalo para limpiar las energías negativas.
En otros países las costumbres varían un poco, por ejemplo, si la meta es conseguir pareja, hay que darle el primer "Feliz año" a una persona del sexo opuesto.
Siempre que exista fe y buena voluntad se pueden hacer todos los ritos para atraer las energías positivas. Claro, esta práctica no garantiza que nuestros deseos se cumplan, pero tendremos un buen ánimo para comenzar un nuevo año con buen pie.
@GD: If I had access to your room, I would just go over on the 31st at about 10:45 P.M. and messed it up so bad that the room would look like it’s upside down… JUST FOR KICKS and to see what you do about it… LMAO I don’t believe in any of those end-of-year customs/traditions… I don’t eat them 12 grapes, clean my room or wear yellow or red undies… heck, mine don’t come in those colours!... Happy New Year everyone!
Nooooooooo, que malo LOL!!! That would still give me time to clean it up
LG you must do something maybe even unconsciously ...

LOL Julie!! I know what you mean ... My room is off limits and clean as clean can be ... but to make sure the whole house is clean, que flojeraaa but it MUST be done LOL!!
That's what I tell her ... that our neighbours will not only think my family is crazy but they will KNOW for sure!! @Bainaman: yes it is said that if you run around outside at midnight con maletas you will most likely travel within that year for sure ... So what do the colours of undies mean again??? ** Also, we make sure that the whole house is clean ... all clothes washed and no corner left dirty ...
LMAO, I know people that are going the have the hardest time on this one

People say that if you run around with your maletas on new year's eve you are going to get to travel next year. Or throw them outside your house. That's crazy stuff
I have no debate when it comes to the color of my undies on that day....YELLOW all the way....

Well I was just wondering, do you usually dress up a little for this special evening ? I mean, after all, it is a celebration, we are welcoming another year ! As far as I can remember, either at home, gathering at friends house or partying at a club, I had always dressed up. I guess that is the way I was brought up. I have to admit that my family was very strict with my education. I was often a P.I.T A for me. Is there as well any other special thing you do for the occasion ?
I also dress up, at a house party or any other more elegant place. I like New Years Eve, and all the excitement, the countdown and awaiting for the New Year.
As far as wearing pink, red, green, yellow undies for good luck, love, money, etc....hmmm, not so important.
YEA BAINA I SECOND THAT..... BUT DO U RATHER HAVE UR BILLS PAID OFF OR BE HAPPY THAT U HAVE SOME LOVE????
well, I haven't received that special visa that wash out the bills for me, Imight go for the Yellow since I am pretty sure I can find love by myself, lol
