As the clock strikes midnight to ring in the new year, you might see Latinos throughout Connecticut doing their best to eat 12 grapes before the clock finishes tolling. Or you may see them running outside with their suitcases in hand. Or tossing water out the front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just some of the traditions that help ensure prosperity, love, and travel \u2014 among other things \u2014in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 12 things that many Latinos will do to ring in the new year <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Eating 12 grapes.<\/strong> Each grape represents a month of the year. With each grape, a wish is made. But be sure to eat the grapes before the clock strikes 12:01 a.m.<\/li>
  2. What you wear matters<\/strong>. In Mexico, people will wear either red or yellow underwear on New Year\u2019s Eve. Wearing red means you will find love in the new year. But if you\u2019re not looking for a new love, then wear yellow to bring economic prosperity, a work promotion or a new job. In other Latin American countries, people will choose to wear one of the following colors: Blue for wellness, good health, tranquility. White for peace, harmony, happiness. Green for well-being, life, nature. Oh, and the underwear should be new.<\/li>
  3. Suitcases.<\/strong> If you see people walking around outside with their suitcases don\u2019t be alarmed. Taking your suitcases out for a stroll at midnight is a way to ensure you will travel far and wide in the new year.<\/li>
  4. Grab the broom.<\/strong> Don\u2019t carry the bad energy and vibes from the old year into the new year, be sure to sweep from the interior of the house to the outside. This gets rid of all the negativity.<\/li>
  5. Money in your shoe<\/strong>. Placing a coin or dollar bill (or more) in your shoe will ensure you have money in the coming year.<\/li>
  6. I do.<\/strong> Looking to get married in the new year? Then find a chair and sit and stand 12 times to the rhythm of the 12 strikes of the clock at midnight.<\/li>
  7. Lighting different colored candles<\/strong>. Blue candles for peace; yellow for wealth; red for love and passion; green for health; white for clarity; orange symbolizes intelligence.<\/li>
  8. Cinnamon sticks<\/strong>. Place sticks of cinnamon throughout the house for peace in the coming year.<\/li>
  9. Eating Lentils: <\/strong>In Chile, people eat lentils representing luck and prosperity. The dish is often served with cotechino and zampone. Pork signifies the bounty of the land; ensuring a prosperous new year.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
