The shops are full of red underwear – it’s a Spanish custom to wear new red pants on New Years Eve to bring good luck. You can’t just go and buy them – they need to be a gift! When I say Spanish I mean the tradition comes from outside Catalunya but seems to be every more popular here, at least from what I see in shop windows!
The other new custom for me to integrate is the eating of twelve grapes as the clock strikes midnight. So add that to the whisky and Auld Lang Syne and first footing with coal and salt….. it is a busy night.
BON ANY NOU!
May you have
Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain
and drinks beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
and those you love near you
and all that your heart may desire!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WELCOME 2011
