Do you know that Filipinos have this tradition of "hanging grapes in their doorways every New Year?"

 Isn't it amusing to learn that Filipinos hang grapes on their doorways out of concern that their kids could eat them? What if someone's head is hit by it? How are the grapes able to be hung on their windows? Find out together why Filipinos hang a bunch of grapes in their doorways and what the significance of this is. 

 In the Philippines, it means placing 12 grapes by each doorway leading into and out of a home or business. For each of the 12 months of the new year, Aldric said, "More hanging grapes bring more prosperity, provided it is done in sets of 12 for every door and/or window. Also, a lucky year is guaranteed by eating one grape at each of the 12 clock chimes at midnight, but only if you also think about their significance at the same time. (Each grape is a month that is to come.)

 We also thought that doing so would bring luck. My Tita always hangs grapes in the door or the windows on New Year's Eve. I never knew why, but now that I do, I thought I'd share the explanation with you guys in case you want to give it a try. Contrary to popular belief, grapes are actually dangling from a thread and a nail in the door. 

  I hope you all understand why I'm telling you about this peculiar tradition and why you ought to give it a shot. Before I wrap up this post, allow me to share this funny quote regarding New Year's Eve:
