I have always heard Whatever you do on New Years day thats what you will do the rest of the year, hmmmm, quilters??

also the blackeyed peas, collards,(or cabbage) ham or other parts of pork were to bring luck to the house, another is if a man enters first of the year happiness and content
a woman, brings love

I also heard about christmas decorations, but my (Quaker,amish) said leave up till Jan 6(Old Christmas)

I forgot another, (sistadebbra, thanks for the reminder) everything had to be cleaned before New Years, also no washing the linen till after New Years, and for the life of me I don't understand that one!

Isn't it amazing what old superstitions come about,

well what about the other part of the country?
