Grapes

Every New Years night my family has the tradition of eating 12 grapes at exactly 12am. Those 12 grapes are suppose to represent 12 wishes, with each grape that you eat you must ask your self what you want in the new year. 12 grapes, meaning 12 months, meaning 12 new dreams, accomplishments or wishes.
