There is an unofficial theory that how we spend our time on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will set the tone for how we spend the year. i.e. eating healthy black eyed peas on January 1 encourages good eating habits.
I've long ago ruled out noisy parties and hangovers.

Right on. I dislike the crazy party stuff. Love spending it quietly - New Year's Day there's an annual ritual and silent time with a group of women. We select a word for the New Year and put a New Year's Log of the fire. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much stayed in my jammies til 4 p.m., then took a walk.
