What’s your New Year’s tradition

[J Alynn]

So curious what everyone’s traditions are for New Year’s Day? Being central south central PA we do the PA Dutch -pork and sauerkraut-which I don’t really care for so my MIL is currently making my daughter and I hot dogs and I’ll eat like one bite of kraut. Supposedly it brings good luck. I like German food with kraut-just not pork and sauerkraut-not sure why. So what’s your tradition?

Black-eyed peas (coins), greens (paper money), and ham (general prosperity) for us. We also got some money-purse dumplings at one of the Asian grocery stores near us that we are going to try this year.

No real traditions on my end other than toasting the new year with nog...

My dad who had maybe three drinks a year used to call it nog and grog and since I fell asleep this year I must be following in his footsteps!

No traditions. I’m not a sentimental or nostalgic person and neither is my partner.
Our spawn are off to college.

So we had a quiet morning with espresso-based drinks and baked french toast. We thought about taking a ride to the Canyon, but it’s rainy and cold, so we might just stay in today.

My grandma was Hungarian so it was a pork and sauerkraut goulash on New Years.

I have the parade on. We have to watch that. I make holiday punch on every holiday.

2 liter bottle of ginger ale
Big can of pineapple juice
As much grenadine as you want
Put it all in a big punch bowl add ice and scoops of rainbow sherbet.
Then rum or vodka on the side for anyone who wants that.

I’ve had similar with just lime sherbet. Shame for the rain today for the parade. All that work and some of those floats took a serious beating in the rain.
Any chance anyone on the forum had helped build the floats? That would be cool

Years ago I worked for Farmers Insurance. They had a contest for employees to ride on the Rose Parade float. It was pulled by horses. Well the horses got spooked and ran into the crowd and I just kept thinking the insurance company float ran amok and injured people. How ironic and glad I didn’t win.
