After covering this story I started questioning friends and family about various New Year's superstitions. Apparently Brazilian tradition says you should wear yellow for New Years for good luck and also wear a string around your wrist with twelve knots tied in it, one for each month of the new year and let the string just fall off by itself to guarantee good luck for each month. Also I learned you should eat black-eyed peas and that for each pea you eat you will get a dollar in the new year, sounds like a stomach ache waiting to happen.
