On the Domingo Live! Show, Paloma suggested to do some of these things at the stroke of midnight. Most of them are said to bring closure to the old year and to encourage love, wealth, harmony,etc for the upcoming new year. Here are her suggestions:
1) Eat 12 seedless grapes at the stroke of midnight...make a wish as you eat each one.
2)Eat blackeyed peas (yuck!)
3)Place your wedding ring in a champagne-filled glass and drink it during midnight with your honey bunny.That's supposed to bring harmony and wealth in the upcoming year.
4)Ring a bell twelve times.
5)Place money in a purse,wallet, and/or pair of boots to invite wealth into your life for the new year.
6)Place a bundle of cinnamon in your household to attract more love into your life.(Wearing red to ring in the New Year also does the same.)
7)Sweep your doorway to remove any bad events from the past year, and toss away an old cleaning rag.
8)Fill a suitcase with clothes and run around the yard with them in tow (to promote the possibility of travelling more during the year.Apparently some people have done this and it works.)
