In the deep hollows of Appalachia, New Year’s Day was never just a holiday—it was a roadmap for the entire year. From the mysterious "First Foot" visitor to the dangerous "don'ts" of laundry and sweeping, our ancestors lived by a code of folklore and wisdom designed to keep the home safe and the harvest full.
Join us on Legends from the Holler as we step back in time to explore the atmospheric and sometimes eerie traditions of an Appalachian New Year. We’ll discuss why we eat black-eyed peas and greens, the ritual of shooting the guns at midnight, and the haunting belief of "washing a soul away."
These aren't just old wives' tales; they are the threads that connect us to the generations who carved a life out of these ridges.
💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: What New Year's traditions did your grandmother keep? Did she hide a silver dime in the peas or warn you about the "wash-tub curse"? Drop a comment below and share your family's mountain stories!
