Have you had your New Years Grapes?

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2014!

On a New Years episode of Modern Family, Gloria was adamant about her New Years grapes! They are a Spanish tradition of New Years goodluck. It seemed like a strange superstition to abide by, and truthfully was the first time I ever thought about it.

Eating 12 grapes at the stroke of Midnight of New Years is supposed to bring you prosperity and predict how sweet it will be by how each grape tastes.

My mother has been stocking her New Years home with grapes for years! This has been a lifelong tradition for her and for many Filipino’s around the world.

Today has been a pretty fun day spent with my family and I hope you’ve had nothing but sweet grapes today!
