" Happy 2009! I hope you guys had a fab celebration last night. My mom asked me if I rang in the New Year with money in my pocket--according to superstition, that&amp;#x27;s supposed to mean you&amp;#x27;ll be flush with cash for the entire year. That got me wondering: Are you superstitious? You guys had lots to say about the power of a full moon to impact everything from crazy behavior to the amount of children being born and conceived. Do you have any New Year&amp;#x27;s-specific superstitions? My mother has instilled a lot of Filipino superstitions in me. I still remember opening all the cabinet doors in the house before midnight on New Year&amp;#x27;s Eve--that was supposed to banish bad luck from the house. And my sister and I always jumped in the air when midnight hit--all in the hopes that we&amp;#x27;d grow taller the next year! I don&amp;#x27;t really believe these superstitions are true, but why tempt fate? Every little bit of luck helps! Are you superstitious? Do you have any New Year&amp;#x27;s superstitions or rituals that you do every year to bring good luck? Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
