    Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year.One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day.The more grapes a person eats,the more good luck he will have in the new year.In France,people eat pancakes for good luck on New Year's Day.In the United States,some people eat blackeyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year.You have to eat 365 of them!
