Red Underwear and Other New Year's Traditions

Can't Post |
It's time to get out the red underwear (or buy new) in preparation for the New Year. And the 12 grapes. What New Year's traditions have you discovered and are observing in Mexico?

Jennifer;

I'm not sure that this forum is quite ready for the spectacle of a band of the usual Mexconnect suspects cavorting in and/or exchanging red underwear.

Possibly you could do a test run for us?

"Thong" you for the suggestion! Might make a new woman of me after all.

Actually, soon after we moved to Mexico one of my daughters married a young man in Chiapas. For the following New Years Eve his large family invited our small family for cena. At midnight, while the Mexicans were all picking through the grapes to find the 12 least damaged ones, the newlyweds were happily kissing. His family was amazed! So, I think I like our customs better (even though where I'm from the Cajun-style black eyed peas are often served in a whole baked hog's head as the center piece for the table).
