Now, to carry this thread in the spirit of the African-American tradition...do you all celebrate the coming of the New Year in church? This would otherwise be known as "Watch Night."

My mother is also from South Carolina, cooks collard greens and black-eyed peas for New Year's. I dislike collards, but eat black-eyed peas. She also does a little something called "hoppin' john" that has rice in it.
