New Year's Customs

The folks at the Urban Legends Reference Pages (a.k.a. Snopes.com) have created a compendium of New Year's Superstitions that's fun to peruse: "Many of the superstitions associated with the event bear the common theme that activities engaged in on that day set the pattern for the year to come. Others have to do with warding off evil spirits or attracting luck."

Take a look at beliefs that relate to kissing at midnight, paying off bills, new clothes, breakage, loud noises, open doors, weather, and more.
