WASHING ON NEW YEARS DAY

Well I guess you are never to old to learn something new. After being down at my son's house I was told to not come home and do any washing on New Year's Day. I had never heard of this ole wise tale. If you wash on New Year's day you will wash someone out of your life. Having read up on this, it means someone will die if you wash on this day. Another thing I learned is do not sweep no floors on New Year's Day. This is also new to me. You will sweep out your good luck.
 Also make sure your house is clean on this day as a dirty house on this day means a dirty house thu out the year.
Is any of this really true or is it just something we all have heard from way back younder. I know some will not walk under a ladder as this is supposed to bring bad luck. Another thing, if you break a mirror you will have seven years of bad luck. Well let me tell you, I broke a mirror and believe me I have to say, I have never had such bad luck for at least 4 years.
 One thing I did not have this year is the New Year dinner of black eyed peas, hog jowl, greens and cornbread. We were already in trouble with my sister-in-law being so sick that I never even cooked on this day. Forgot about it. So time will tell what luck we will have for the coming year. Maybe if I am alive this time next year I can let you all know what luck we had. We have had so many deaths in the past 4 years that I am just glad to have all of our family alive this year. That was the best Christmas gift I could have.
