I know many are done by other countries here are a few of the ones I grew up seeing, I remember my Abuelo and Abuela with friends doing things like this. I have kept a few some others I stop doing.
- Get a luggage and at midnight go out of the house and around the block carrying it and then come back in.. by doing this you will travel the upcoming year.
- Eat 12 grapes at midnight and make a wish every time you eat one.
- Wear brand new underwear preferably red
- Take an egg a glass of water and break the egg inside the glass put the glass under the bed and the next day between your family and your friends, read the egg to see what is going to happen the following year (not sure how to read an egg is more like a fun thing to do)
- We also build like a doll made out of scraps and then we burn him and really what it means is burning El Ano Viejo.

interesting traditions! i might have to try the thing. i've been dying to travel and haven't had the time or the money to do it
sounds very tiring!
And Im not crazy! You do eat grapes and wear new underwear. I knew there was a tradition that included grapes and underwear!!!!
I like the walking around the block one. I can imagine everyone in your neighborhood walking around the block with suitcases lol!
