In the past decade, or so, I have treated New Years as a personal, almost sacred, night of reflection. To me, new beginnings were the most important element of my life- moving forward, reflecting on what was done, and what needed to be done.
Now, after having my first Christmas with two wonderful (well, not at the present moment- it's a much-needed nap time) kids, I find myself re-evaluating that need to start fresh. Christmas was an amazing experience- one I had forgotten- and one I now look forward to. We gave presents to the 9-month-olds each night for a full two weeks. We made it a nightly ritual. Christmas day, we opened the remaining gifts- with wrapping paper. Lots of fun!!!
So, this New Years will be about continuation, and celebration of all that is good.
How about you, Chief? Any rituals, or specific meaning with the New Year?
I also heard something about a VERY smart wife/girl friend of yours... Any Potato Hot dog on the wall yet?![]()
