Want to ensure good luck for the coming year? Do you have many wishes you would like to come true? There are all kinds of little rituals, of magical power, that people use to assure a new year full of luck and good fortune.
The champagne toast:
After you have made all new year’s toast and emptied the champagne bottle with your friends or family you need to write your wish you want to come true in the New Year on a piece of paper. Be careful not to tell anyone what you wrote or let anyone see your paper; keep it secret. Everyone puts their papers in the empty bottle. Once all the messages are in the bottle, you take the cork and seal the bottle again. Then you let the bottle go in a water stream like a river or sea, saying: "Here I leave this bottle with all our wishes. Take it anywhere, near or far away, but make all our wishes come true."
The 12 grapes for good luck:
This tradition tells us that for each of the last twelve seconds of the year, we must eat a grape. If we can accomplish the task on time, without choking or cheating, our hopes for the New Year will be fulfilled. But be careful because the grapes have to be attached to the branch. Do not use those that come in cans, peeled and without seeds. They have lost that magical power. Once you eat all the grapes count the seeds that you were able to take out. The one with the most seeds in their hand will have good luck for the new year.
The change of year is a time of reflection, sharing with family, to look back and value those achievements that the old year left us, and set new goals for this year. You will have to manage time well, to be able to spend a while with all the people you love. A great online bingo game to enjoy with your bingo buddies, followed by a delicious family dinner, full of good wishes and prosperity is a great idea. Bingo.com wishes you all a very Happy New Year!
