When I was learning Spanish in grade school in California, we learned a story called Luis y las uvas de felicidad. In the tradition described there, you ate the 12 grapes as the chock chimed midnight, and if you consumed all 12, it meant good luck for the following year. Thing is, the people around you were allowed to try and throw your concentration off or otherwise distract you from finishing the task. It was a good story, but I don’t know where in the world people do that particular one.
