Well, it is here...ready or not.
I wonder what this new year will bring? I know we all have hopes that it will be the best year yet. Having celebrated a few new ones... I just hope it will top 2018!
We spent our first day of the year having a very nice lunch at one of my niece's.
They served grilled steaks with all of the trimmings including black eyed peas. You see, in the U.S. (at least in the South) it is a custom that you simply must eat black eyed peas if you are to have good luck in the new year.
It seems also to have become a day of non stop football on the t.v.
So, that is how I spent my day. Just wanted to wish you and yours a very happy new year, and ask if there are any customs or traditions connected to your first day?
Happy New Year Janey and may all of those black eyed peas bring you all lots of good luck.
ReplyDeleteBlack eyed peas are a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteI spent New Year's Eve at a Scottish style gathering that's been going on here for a few years now.
A Happy New Year to you Janey. We don't have a tradition at January 1, only the "oliebollen" at the day before.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to enjoy good food and football to start the year...heehee! I love football and sure will miss it when the season's over. Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to ya'll.
Though living in the South, we did not have black eyed peas on New Year's day this year. Have had them at times.
Funny though about the football games, it sure did bring Texas good luck!
It was hilarious for both of us to post our 1st American football game attendance ever on my FB Page. Did not bring the UGA any luck, as it didn't then.
