New Year's Day traditions/superstitions?

Watching the CAN-USA World Juniors game is a tradition;-p

It's good luck to have a dark-haired man be the first person o come into your house in the new year (and bad luck if it's a fair-haired woman.)

Doubtful we will have any visitors tomorrow, but grandson has to work til 2am & will be the first person to enter on New Years Day. He has dark hair.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and we ALWAYS had pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day. My Grandmother said you had to have pork for good luck to start the new year because pigs root forward and NEVER chicken because chickens scratch back. You want to look forward to the new year. I was very conflicted when my future MIL served chicken the first New Year's Day that I spent with my future family!

A friend posted on FB he was having rawhack and creamed herring for luck. I'm okay with the rawhack, but I'd be passing on the herring

I'll bite rawhack?
