Sonny -  Do you not have collard greens and black-eyed peas on New 
Years' Day?  I thought that was a tradition throughout the 
south.  Various beliefs go along with it, but the most common around 
here is that in the coming year you will receive a dollar for each 
collard green that you eat and a coin for each black-eyed pea.  If 
that's true, we'll all be millionaires this next year!!  I have tons 
of collard greens and black-eyed peas.  Y'all come.  I've got enough 
for everybody.  Cornbread and tea, too.
