Are you looking for love in 2004? How about a financial windfall? The color of the underwear you wore on New Year’s Eve may determine your success, according to Mexican tradition. The custom, whose origins are obscure, directs those seeking love to wear red underpants, and those desiring money to wear yellow. Party-goers who want to improve their odds can try “double bagging” and wear two pairs. The panty tradition is just one of many ways to promote good fortune in the new year, including eating certain foods like black-eyed peas.
