So have you ever heard of this new year's tradition?

[TWB]

The last ten seconds of the year, you pop a grape into your mouth, one each second, and try to eat them...then at midnight you kiss other people in the room with the remaining grapes (and juice) in your mouth.

What are your traditions?

 

[leZilla]

Wtf? That is barbaric.

 

[MechaBlade]

what the fuck?

only one I've heard of is kissing people at midnight.

 

[Mischka]

Can't say I have. I'll be doing the standard champagne-and-kissing route. I like tasting champagne on everyone's lips.

That sounds like a delicious, if not a choking hazard, new tradition!

Kisses to you for New Years, with grapes and wine and all kinds of juicy things in my mouth for you

 

[LotusDreamer]

I don't think I can fit 10 grapes in my mouth.
Wi'out drooling... Disgusting.

 

[sweetvee]

erm i think i'll stick with champagne and a kiss

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

We Bang Pots And Pans...that Sounds Like Fun Though!

 

[Jesus Christ]

I have my apostles gather water, which I turn to wine. We start drinking at about noon. Then we butcher chickens and fry their wings beforer covering them with ye old hot sauce. Next comes the the consuming of the blessed corn dogs. And later, if I get drunk enough, I run my loincloth up a flagpole and go streaking down main street. As of now, the odds are good that my most holiest of members will be fighting wind chill in a few hours.

No, you eat them , one a second. There may be one or two in your mouth at the end, but your mouth has fresh grape juice in it.

 

[Mischka]

TWB, it sounds like this may a tradition specific to your area. So will you be in a room with other grape-stuffed mouths, or will you be springing this tradition on some unsuspecting revelers tonight?

Edit: You posted the explanation same time as I posted. I'd happily kiss you with just a grape or two left, although I still prefer champagne.

Depending on how rowdy the area is of hillbilly heaven, people 'round here usually fire their shotguns off and/or set off illegal fireworks.

No, the people whose house I am going to are not american citizens. They are springing it on me and the other guests.

I will tell you all how it goes later.

We always just beat pots and pans.

What the fuck?

Is that a Canadian thing?

 

[HappyMisha]

I don't think my kittens will appreciate this at all...

 

[DEEJACK12]

Who the hell have you been hanging around with.

You have to get new friends for the new year.

 

[Explaura]

Fireworks!

 

[LotusDreamer]

Ok, but it's still disgusting. I can't imagine swapping spit wi' a roomful of folk.
Call me a prude, if you want, but, eww. I'll stick to the pots and pans.
And drunkenly groping my husband.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

No It's A Voodoo Thing...Scare Away Bad JooJoo And All That

Does that mean you're not coming to the next Lit-Together?

Crazy rastafarians.

 

[LotusDreamer]

Does that mean you're not coming to the next Lit-Together?

Damn, now you've put me on the spot.
There are quite a few here I wouldn't mind swapping spit wi', amongst other
bodily fluids.

 

[Pyro Paul]

i will be doing my "deep in REM sleep" tradition this year. like i do every new year.

 

[tailfinz69]

I try to get laid.

I heard the grape thing was a Mexican or Latin American thing. I thought they just ate the grapes at the tolling of the midnight bells. The kissing part sounds much more interesting.
