So you are wondering how to celebrate the beginning of 2007? Peruvians have their own ideas of how to ring in the New Year. Get prepared so you too can celebrate Peruvian style on Sunday night! At midnight, eat one grape for each month of 2007 under the table and ask for a wish for each grape you eat.
If you want a year full of travel, take your suitcases and walk around the block with them at midnight. They need not be full. This will bring a year full of trips for you!
For a year of abundance, take coins in your hands and throw them over your shoulders at midnight. They can be old coins or ones that are otherwise “useless.”
Write your heart’s desire on a piece of paper then place a gold candle on top of it. Burn the candle through the night and allow the melted wax to cover the paper. You then throw out the wax covered paper in the morning.
Make a doll (scarecrow style) out of old clothes and at midnight, burn the doll with the old clothes in the street. This represents burning up all of the “old.” You should be dressed in all new clothing.
To welcome the New Year, decorate your table with sunflowers!
Wear yellow clothing on January 1st in order to have a good year. It is best to have yellow clothing that has been given to you. Those that truly believe this dress completely in yellow but most just make sure their underwear is yellow!
Most importantly, may GOD bless your New Year!!!
