Hi,
now you got me thinking - although I am familiar with the tradition - what´s the explanation of why to eat grapes, and why 12? For each month? The superstition I know of is that you should at 3 grapes, including seeds, but I never knew why...
Anyway, thanks for participating in Saturday Senses. And i loved the color scheme you set up in your blog. :-)

Happy New year! =)

as far as the grapes are concerned, i'm told it is one grape per month. fwiw, they were seedless grapes and i'm not sure whether that mattered or not. i like grapes, so i ate 'em. :-)
