That's really more of a Christmas thing than a New Years thing, just a way of decorating. My mom, who lives in New Mexico, sent them to me this year. I haven't seen anyone else in St. Louis hanging chile ristras this year (or any other year), but a lot of people have them throughout New Mexico.<br /><br />On Christmas Eve, I like to go buy lots of strange cheeses and eat them close to midnight. Some of them are round. That's not a meaningful cultural tradition, though, just something I do.JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837813787837343660noreply@blogger.com
