Eating Lobster Is Considered Bad Luck, But Why?

Well, actually, it deals with it being a crustacean believe it or not.  The thinking behind this bad luck omen is that if you do eat a lobster, because they can move backward.  This is seen as moving backwards versus forwards and starting your new year on the right foot, forward.

Instead, try eating lucky foods like round fruits, or you can try black-eyed peas instead.  What traditions are you celebrating into the New Year this year?  Let us know via social media, using the appchat feature or email us here.
