Visit www.hostdrjack.com Hello blog-curious folks I start with a countdown above: As to open my small topic - O P E N - for discussion ... - t r a d i t i o n s - Yesterday I ask about resolution and found that not many of my friends make them or as most do:- break them - How about those traditions (family or otherwise) On New Year's Eve? Growing up, I remember my neighbor were big on letting off fireworks, My oldest sister husbands family went hunting. Another neighborhood family would throw A big family cover dish "Football get together" that had hordes of folks in and out all day. When I married Pete & Trisha's mom, their tradition was to: Take some money outside and hide it, then go back out after midnight and recover it. This was to symbolize "Bringing Money into the home productively" It also had stipulations: Hide it and cant find it - Meant you'd make money but loose it foolishly Hide money and it get lost or stolen - Pretty much meant that would happen all year! You spent the money that you hide sometime during the year - Funny, this was like the WORST of all the superstitions ... It depends on when how early you spent it on how much you were going to lose during the year! Funny thing is that they very much believed this for generations ... I'm sure I missed a couple things too, but just curious if any of -YOU- have similar or strange superstitions you'd share too! Oh, funny thing about my ex wife's tradition too: I once went to hide the money (usually some kind of coinage) And when I got outside the house I realize I didn't have a single coin in my pocket! So, I took a dollar bill and put in black marker N. Y. E. (N)ew (Y)ear's (E)ve on the back of bill ... (as to NOT spend that bill and jinx myself) idk, here I am ... in my late 20's - and it was the FIRST time I ever noticed: N.Y.E. Is the same as my middle name! My middle name IS: Nye (German) the same as The initials of (N)ew (Y)ear's (E)ve! eh, I found it amusing anyway . . . With that - Heres this: Today's Comment Good Morning!
