Crazy New Year's Rituals

This week is New Year's and of course everyone starts to make their plans. Some get together with friends and others decide to relax. But in other parts of the world, there are New Year's rituals that are bizarre. It's customary to quickly eat 12 grapes in Spain. People eat one at each stroke of the clock. Each one signifies good luck for one month of the coming year. In Finland, people predict their fortunes for the coming year by pouring molten tin into a container of water and interpreting the shape of the metal takes after it hardens. A heart or ring shape means a wedding, a ship signifies travel. A pig means lots of good food. A pile of corn is put in front of each unmarried woman in Belarus. A rooster is then let loose. Whatever pile he approaches first shows which woman will be the first to marry. In Central and South America, people wear special underwear. Red underwear for love and yellow underwear for money.
