enamouredIf I'm not around at midnight--uh, let's hope that next year will be as cool as (if not cooler than) this year.
Cheers!

John Davis: In Georgia, it's a tradition to eat black-eyed peas and turnip greens. The peas represent copper and the greens are dollars. We say each pea you eat equals one dollar's worth of earning, and each portion of turnip greens equals $1,000.
Other sites seem to say roughly the same thing. A couple said you're supposed to eat at least 365 to have good luck all year long. And one site said some people put a dime into it and whoever finds it has particularly good luck.
