1/365 - Superstitions

It's a Filipino superstition to have the following on your table when the New Year arrives. From the top, clockwise: rice to symbolize constant food on the table, cottonballs to bring in a "light" year ahead, and salt...to go with the rice, I guess? I try and do this ritual yearly, not only because I believe in the symbolism of it all, but more so because it's important to me to uphold family traditions.

What are some of your New Year's traditions/superstitions?
