The List for Thursday, December 31st 2020

Welcome to The List –

Today on The List, New Years superstitions do you have any?

Maddie & Tae’s Maddie Marlow says SHE doesn’t have any but won’t be eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s day that’s for sure. “I don’t have any superstitions, because the black-eyed peas made me throw up one year, so I’m not a fan of the black-eyed peas thing anymore. So, I just go into a new year with a good mind set, and just start at that” Black eyed peas giving good luck is a superstition in the South that dates back to the civil war.

Tim McGraw says he doesn’t have any New Year Superstitions “I don’t really have any superstitions, you we try to do black eyed peas, and greens and all those sorta things but I’m not very big on that sorta stuff. I just look to the new year as an opportunity to do new things and accomplish new goals.”

Dawn Wells, who parlayed her girl-next-door charm and wholesome beauty into enduring TV fame as the sweet-natured desert island castaway Mary Ann on the classic 1960s sitcom ‘Gilligan’s Island,’ has passed.  She was born in Reno Nevada, and authored two books ‘Mary Ann’s Gilligan’s Island Cookbook, and What Would Mary Ann Do? A Guide To Life. Her publicist said she died of complications with COVID-19. Dawn Wells…Mary Ann…was 82
