It's funny how traditions get started. My family isn't big on traditions, but my alma mater is. The way Texas Aggie traditions usually get started is when someone comes up with a totally brilliant (at the time) idea or when something funny happened(s).

A long-time American New Year's tradition is to kiss on midnight on New Year's Eve.
An excuse for men to make out with chicks.
An excuse for lonely women to feel special.
BRILLIANT IDEA (at least at the time...) *wink*
If you live in Texas or The South in general, you most likely spend your New Year's Day involved in watching football, and traditionally eating beans (black eyed peas, specifically) with cornbread, and boiled cabbage. For health, wealth, and good fortune.

It's the BEST hangover food EVER. AND you get a nap afterwards! Starch attack!
BRILLIANT idea!
Birth of a tradition.
