HAPPY NEW YEAR! I originally wanted to post a video wishing you guys an awesome new year but then I got some new friends (HI GUYS ♥) and I got all nervous, so I'm writing it out instead. I began this new year hating my cat and having the Bed Intruder song stuck in my head. Is that bad luck

ah, Happy New Year to you too! In my family, on New Years Day we generally eat smoked sausage with sauerkraut, and my mom puts coins in the sauerkraut. It's supposed to be good luck if you find silver coins. I figure it's pretty unsafe, but w/e. It's the only time of year any of us tolerate sauerkraut, ironically.

That's interesting. It's kind of like king cake, then, I guess? But with sauerkraut. XD I've actually never eaten the stuff, but I don't think I'd like it either.

Are you of German(ic) descent? That tradition sounds totally random, which is why I'm wondering. :P

I've heard of king cake! It is like that. I do not like the stuff. I drown my wurst-on-a-bun in ketchup so I don't have to taste the sauerkraut OTL

I was actually contemplating this as I posted my first comment. I...have no idea, to be honest OTL My family are such American mutts, and have been for generations, that it is entirely possible and likely. In one branch of our family it's said that we have German ancestry along with Scotts-Irish and Native American. It is pretty random, isn't it?

[plumora]

Random indeed! On my dad's side I'm Welsh and Scottish, and on my mom's, German, French, and Native American. So we're both kind of random, but that's fine. :D

Maybe next year you should suggest eating king cake instead of sauerkraut... haha. :P

Are you American as well? Regardless, that is an impressive mixture of nationalities!

Ah well...I wouldn't want to break tradition.

Also, for the information of anyone reading this, only put SILVER coins in your food if you should ever need to; I was talking to my mom and she told me she only puts silver coins because it's dangerous to put pennies in food oTL

[plumora]

Yep, American. Impressive perhaps, but I don't know much about my heritage, which is sad.

Note to self: never put pennies in food. Gotcha.
