New Years Thread

[Ammanas]

Now that Christmas is almost over I can get to a holiday I enjoy even more: New Years day! I personally like it more than Christmas because I feel like there is a lot of commercialism, anxiety, tension and putting on airs around it.

As a religious holiday I feel that Easter works better for the average Christian (for deep contemplation and meditation).

Also little kids are kind of cranky with the candy and lack of a good night's rest. Not that I'm putting down Christmas; just explaining why I enjoy New Years more. It is just a much more relaxed atmosphere for me.

Does any one have traditions or anything special that they do? I don't do resolutions. I am a firm believer that anyone can decide to improve themselves and start anytime they want. I have a few traditions:

1. Make Cabbage and Black Eyed peas. It's a southern tradition that's supposed to bring money and good luck. The peas are easy to make in the slow cooker and I make a nice cabbage dish with potatoes and polish sausage.

2. Watch a lot of college football bowl games.

3. Listen to the following two songs

And

4. Hang out with family.

I'm looking forward to staying up way too late and drinking so much caffeine I can't think straight!

We always watch "dinner for one" and then light some fireworks at midnight. That's about it with the traditions part.

Apart from that we always spent the time with friends, depending on work we leave as soon as possible after christmas. This year we'll spent the time between the 28th and the 1st at a small hut in the mountains maybe play some board games, (drink some alcohol), walk through the countryside. We will cook together and I really look forward to it, because it will be relaxing and a lot of fun. And there will be snow so we will take our selds and look for a nice place to speed down to the valley.

I think I'll hit the bottle while I sing Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man in between sobs.

Or play board games, I dunno.

If I weren't underage I'd get extremely drunk in celebration...
