Another year for the Genealogy Challenge and other chance to keep up with my blog.
Week 1: New Year’s. Did your family have any New Year’s traditions? How was the New Year celebrated during your childhood? Have you kept these traditions in the present day

I really don't remember any set family thing as to New Year's tradition while growing up other then trying to stay awake to watch on TV the "BALL" drop with Dick Clark, in my early teens . As I got older, I did manage to stay awake through the New Year. Sadly to say, it just isn't the same anymore without the "OLDEST TEENAGER" there for the whole thing.

The past 5 or six years I have been working the 3rd shift at whatever job I may have had, and again l was working when the new year slipped in under my nose!

There are a lot of New Year's Traditions from around the world, as well as the SUPERSTITIONS, and Customs.

And of course, NEW YEAR's DAY is a whole another ball of wax so to speak!

As for the tradition of making resolutions for the new year~ I am making one which I can never break~by making NONE...can't break what you make~simple and easy!
