Pork and sauerkraut is PA Dutch. The feast of the seven fishes is Catholic.

But you are all missing the big question. The question of momentous import:

KETCHUP ON SAUERKRAUT?! ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!?

New Year's Resolutions?
"Start Smoking."

I don't know if it's a regional thing, but around here, you have to eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day or you're going to have a really sucky year. I'm not really in the mood for pork and sauerkraut today, but I'm going to throw it in the crock pot because I don't want to take any chances. And make a big batch of mashed potatoes to go with it, because it goes so well with it. And I like ketchup on my sauerkraut.

Also, throwing money in the door the first time you enter the house after leaving it in the new year. My grandmother did that every single year. You didn't dare touch it, even if you found it in August, she'd screech like a banshee. Seems if you didn't leave the money there on the floor where it landed, she would "end up on the poor farm!"

Any other New Year's traditions? Not resolutions, there's another thread for that. Just little things you do for good luck because it's a new year. [:)]
