"Tüppelziehen" a Tradition

Before the new year can arrive we just have one more job that needs to be done. Just like any other year on New Years Eve each member of the family has to do "Tüppelziehen" which will tell what the next year will hold for you. This tradition comes from my father's side and I remember from my earliest childhood memories that everyone was excited to take part in this tradition.




All you need is four cups, a piece of bread, a piece of jewellery, a coin, and a piece of cloths. You will then cover the items with the cups and shove the cups around. One person of course turns around so you can't see what is going on. Then this person will pick one cup and takes a look what is underneath. All together each person picks 4 times a cup. So have a go...


Bread = Food
Jewellery = Luck
Coin = Money
Cloths = Trouble

Happy New Year
