what's your new year's eve tradition/oddities?

it will be 2010 a few hours from now and i'm curious about what 'odd' or different things you do/wear when the clock hits 12!

i picked this up from my dad when i was a kid: i put loose coins on my pockets, hold a few and jingle it and start jumping around when the clock strikes 12. LOL the coins signify that the coming year would bring me more money (which i surely need for the wedding!) and the jumping is to make me grow taller. hahaha. there may not be any science to any of these but i just got used to it and it makes me feel livelier and happier!

so, what's yours?

we spend NYE at our friends house & with his family. his grandmother puts uncooked lentils into everyone's pocketbooks & wallets. its suppose to bring you money in the coming year. (FH & I both carry them around with us for the entire new year, its funny when you go to take out cash & u have lentils flying out of your wallet)

& my mom cooks lentils on New Years Day for the same reason.

I don't have any new years traditions really. When I was a kid I used to go to my best friend's house. Her, her mom, and I would run out into the driveway and bang pots and pans really loudly at midnight. LOL! But I haven't done that in years. I like yours though!

my grandmother would always cook a turkey on new years day because it was 'good luck'
