I first brought up this subject over here .
I just thought that instead of hogging the animal crackers thread I would start a new one for this particular subject as it is going on a lot longer than I thought it would. And I think I’ve worked out how to copy the relevant comments over here and delete them from over there.

So how was it for you?
As usual, Nog and I were fast asleep before the bells rang at midnight. 
Traditionally in Spain you are supposed to eat twelve grapes, beginning at the stroke of midnight and finishing before the bells stop chiming. Which is very difficult to do unless you use peeled seedless grapes. In fact, they sell small tins of 12 peeled seedless grapes here. Nog and I bought a couple tins of these two years ago but we’ve never managed to use them and by next year they will be past their ‘use by’ date …
Anyhow, the idea is that if you manage to eat all the grapes before the midnight bells stop chiming then you will have good luck for the next twelve months.
Well, grapes or not, I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2007 and I look forward to sharing it with everyone here.
