Hey guys! Its 
Today, I wanted to talk about the tradition that we often do here in the Philippines during New Years, which is having 12 round fruits in our home for luck and good fortune, well in some, other people wear clothes with polka dots because the polka dots are also round. You might be wondering why is it 12 fruits? Well, simply each fruit represents months as well, so that is why it is 12. Well for me, those fruits really bring luck! Why? Because those fruits carry so many healthy benefits for our body! Heres an image of my 1fruits in my home for tonight’s New Year’s Eve.
