Latino traditions & superstitions for the New Year vary from those in the US!
When I first came to the United States from Mexico, people made fun of me because I had my superstitions all wrong. I used to fear martes y trece, instead of Friday the Thirteenth. I thought a black cat had to walk toward you and not across your path to give you bad luck, and that if you broke a mirror you got 13 years of bad luck instead of seven.
