~*Tonight, Sicilians will consume lasagna as it brings luck… Italians will prepare a dish with lentils as they are shaped like coins and symbolize a wealthy new beginning…

Greeks will bake bread with a buried coin in the dough…

Chinese will adorn every front door with a fresh coat of red paint, as the red color denotes luck and happiness…

In Spain they will eat twelve grapes as each grape would bring luck for each month of the year…

And, You will be greeting and jumping, Wishing this year, you would hold on your New resolutions!

Happy New Year Everyone! May you live happily and enjoy life in all its forms and food in moderation!*~
