No cabbage eating just brings flatulance for New years Day, but kissing everyone at the dance could make you seriously sick.
Just grin, pop balloons, sing Auld Langs Sine and drink your Champagne. If anyone wants to kiss you, offer your cheek (the one attached to your chin, silly) it's New years. LOL.

I only heard to eat blackeyed peas on New Years Day, but maybe I should get some cabbage too. However, at midnight I will be kissing my husband, not eating cabbage.

Well, you've heard of "The luck of the Irish"...
Maybe that's where it comes from...
Either that..
Or Irish Whiskey...
Try them both...
Eat some cabbage and wash it down with a glass
of Irish Whiskey...

Most people eat greens on New Year's Day. I've never heard of eating it at midnight.

We always have pork and sauerkraut for New Year's Day dinner for good luck. Never heard that you were supposed to eat it at midnight.

I don't know if it will bring you luck but it certainly will bring you gas.
