New Year's Day Traditions

1. I have been doing the cleaning as well, it just feels good to start clean doesn't it?

2. Eat Thai food. It's vibrant, colorful, and full of flavor; I would like my life this year to reflect THAT.

3. I second the notion for the dream board, or luck vase: some way of clarifying intent for the coming year. I wanted to do a dream board for Solstice, but got caught up having my carpets cleaned. So thanks for the reminders, it's time for that.

4. Dreamboard inspiration "courting luck".

The article says that this meal is lucky if it's the first meal eaten for the year.

So they want you to eat that for breakfast?

I don't have a food or cleansing tradition, but I sometimes participate in a NYC motorcycling tradition. The weather wasn't bad so there were more bikes than usual this year for the Isle of Manhattan ride. The name is a play on the famous Isle of Man race. The NYC New Years Day event is a quick lap around Manhattan with plenty of pleasant socializing before and after the ride. Lots of really cool bikes usually show up, which makes it even more fun.

Not only did I stay out late last night, which is really unusual for me, I woke up in time to participate in the Isle of Manhattan ride this year. Yay for getting the year off to a celebratory, invigorating start!

My parents always throw a party. Family and friends come over. Usually it's a last hurrah of drinking and eating. Everyone brings an appetizer or munchie to share. Just a chill, fun day before back to reality.

Hmmmmm, no wonder it never brought me any luck!

No, it has always been a lunch thing.
