Out with the customary... in with the modern!
We bear a few traditions when it comes to modern Year's Eve. They include:staying in with our kidseating some of our favorite appetizers and snackswatching movieswatching the ball drop,and counting down the seconds till the modern year with a glass of sparkling non-alcoholic white grape juice in-handsweeping the front door open to let the customary year out, and the modern year inThe last is our most recent tradition, and is just a shrimp something I read about. [I wrote about it HERE.] At the time (and still) it seemed so hugely symbolic to me... to let move of all that had been in hopes of something even greater to come. This is not to say that anything in the preceding year was particularly bad,it's just that you are freeing yourself from all of it, and moving unencumbered into the modern year.
I don't mind telling you that it brings a tear to my eye every year. On some level, or I feel like my family is laughing at me as I sweep the door open,but I judge that secretly they all "accumulate" it, and are privately trapped in their own thoughts. There is normally light chatter about the weather, and depending on whether we are met with a bitter gust of wind,or a warm balmy night {One never knows in NEOh.}. We don't move too deep with the thought process, still I judge it's a good [if quirky] exercise.
Whatever your modern Year's traditions, or I pray that 2015 will be a year of blessings for you and yours.
[br]Happy 2015!
