Here we are - 5pm - New Years Eve 2024 here.
Wishing all a Very Happy New Year - may at least some of your dreams come true.
As usual - we get it first. LOL
Southern trivia for tomorrow - I don't know where these old traditions came from if from a single place or a compilation of different people's traditions or maybe even something a group of people made up and others adopted.
My dad's parents lived with us until they died and my grandmother was superstitious.
She'd been brought up to believe on New Year's day you were to avoid going anywhere and if you left the house you were to bring something back in.
You were not supposed to take anything out of the house.
What ever you started doing that day you would be doing the rest of the year.
Actually that part made sense, because you avoided doing anything that day , so you'd only be doing the things you had to do.
You weren"t supposed to cut anything with scissors or throw anything away or wash clothes on New Year's Day.
If you were to wash clothes that day the person those clothes belonged to would die.
All those things were supposed to represent some kind of loss.
You were supposed to eat greens and black eyed peas and hog jowl to have prosperity in the new year.
The greens represented folding money, the peas were change, and the hog jowl was the purse.
Call me poor, I never participated and don't care to now. Lol
Be careful if you go out tonight and I hope everyone has a happy 2025.
Happy New Year to the Heckers!
Hopefully, some things will never change😂
Usually it is "out with the old and in with the new"
In your case, it is "out with the old and in with more of the old"
Some things will never change but in your case, things had better change or else! How is it that you have not gone completely mad or lost your mind?
25 minutes more and it will be 2025. I'll stop there.
they are being up to absolutely no good in that doll room!
Well, they've certainly been busy.
Wonder what they'll get up to today.
Grit had a John Wayne marathon going yesterday. Big Jake rang in the New Year.
I went to bed when The Angel and the Bad Man came on.
Fredi, you get some great vacation time now that you're gonna be working with the school.
you'll be available to go camping all summer😀
Dom, how can you sleep with all that going on and the bright light too?
Got to be a miserable situation.
Did you ever get compensated for your tree?
Hard to get justice confronting the business bunch.
Breakfast is on. BBL
Happy 2025 all.
I was up at 6 am (on the first)to hike our beautiful mountains. Everything is very brown, and dry. The oak trees are evergreens, so at least those trees shimmered in the breeze, and helped welcome in the New Year.
