    DH is a blackeyed peas guy so I go with it.  He made them yesterday to be sure we would have them available.

    My family did lots of goofy stuff that I never see texans do.  We'd shake my dad's wallet outside right after midnight for wealth, eat a giant new year's pretzel, and do a shoeless lap around the house (in Pittsburgh that usually meant in the snow) for health.

    Do people here bang pots and pans at midnight?

    We are usually just a black eyed peas family... but this year a friend bought us a sage stick so we're planning to drink champagne and "cleanse" us and the house with the sage stick.  I need this year to be over!  Bring on 2012.

    I grew up in the NW and we used to bang pots and pans at midnight. I haven't seen it here, though.
