Where in the South are you 'cause in Gaw-juh we eat greens, black eyed peas and some type of pork, usually ham hocks in the greans and peas!

My mother in law (who is in Ohio) believes that the first one to visit in the new year should be man.

My mother said no washing on the last day or the first day of the year. She also believed that you should not have dirty clothes in your house on the last day of they year, so the 30th was always spent washing everying in sight.
