Locals share New Year’s superstitions
As we head into the new year many folks may be looking to bring in more wealth, love, or travel for 2017.
Which is why some people believe-in or carry out new year's superstitions to make sure they start the year up right.
47 ABC caught up with a few local residents about their new year superstitions.
"My grandmother would always make black eyed peas and that was our tradition. It's supposed to bring in good luck," says Jennifer Taylor.
"Well I have a neighbor who used to say the first person that would walk into the house on New Years had to be a male. And somehow that meant prosperity," says Michael Reed.
"If you eat collard greens on New Year's Day then that means that you'll have money for the rest of the year," says Bridgette Warren.
Another superstition that folks might be familiar with is kissing a loved one when the clock hits midnight. A New Year's Eve kiss means that your affection and love will last all year.
