Is it bad luck to do laundry on New Year's Eve?

It is supposedly an old saying that says "Whatever one does on New Year's Day, that one will do it the entire year."

Another superstition goes like this: "If you wash your clothes on New Year's Day, you will be washing clothes of someone who has passed away before the year's end."

If you wash clothes on New Year's Day, you will wash someone out of your life.
