The New Year Cabals

Hi everybody

Today I going to talk about new year. The new year it's really close so I want to dedicate this blog to my experiences with the cabals in new year. I came from a family that have many traditions for the new year. Since I was a little kid my mom and my aunts made different cabals for call to the good things in the new year. So here is a list with some of they.

1- Eat a spoon full of lentils. You have to it lentils just cooked without dressing. My aunts always make me eat this. It's so disgusting, but they believe that if you eat lentils you never lack anything.

2- Dress a yellow under wear. Since I'm a little kid my aunts always make me use a yellow underwear that they give to me. This cabal i'ts for you have energy during the all year.

3- Put some piece of gold (rings of something like that) in a glass of champagne. My aunts say that this is for have money in the all year.

4- The first gretting have to be for the someone of the opposite sex. My aunts wil never forget me getting they before a man do that. The believe that it's bad luck to hug to someone of the same sex.

5- Clean the house. This cabal it's for the bad things of the past year go away and could came the good things from the new year.

6- One of the most I like it's take a shower on the sea. It's for the bad energy go away from your body.

I don´t believe in all this, but in some way this are part of my family and I have affection for they.
I hope this year we are all together with my family and could do this cabals again.
