Hi Bryonna,
Great post….and I’m currently reading Last Chance to Run! I read it years ago when it was called Worth Every Risk, but this new version…the extended version is much better…deeper and…well, just better.

Thanks so much for sharing with us about your New Year…we sat up together & watched the ball in N.Y. as well as the inset of the Peach…dropping. Happy New Year!

Fascinating post, Bryonna. I’ve always wanted to know what Auld Lang Syne meant. Thanks for explaining it. But I’m all for bidding farewell to the problems of the past year. Here’s to a rockin’ 2013 for all the Petit Fours and Hot Tamales and all our readers!

The hubs and I usually stay home with our little dogs who are terrified of fireworks. I actually enjoy watching tv or having friends over for games and mimosas!

I love all the fabulous traditions you all shared. I laughed through each of your posts. I have a feeling when we start a family, New Year’s will be wilder but with both of us working retail, its just not practical at this time. We’re usually recovering from Christmas. lol

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who spends New Year’s at home or quietly. Makes me feel better.

Thank you for sharing all those traditions. I hope I hear more. Tomorrow, I’ll announce the winner of Dianna Love’s fabulous book. People have until then to comment and get in on the drawing!

Traditions are wonderful, Bryonna.
Being Greek, I bake a Vassilopita each New Year, although only a quarter goes into the cake, not a gold coin. And traditionally, I cook a full Greek meal New Years Day, which we always spend together as a family.
Wishing you and your new hubby create many wonderful traditions together. After all, they need to start sometime.

Did NOT know all the words! Love the song by Dan Fogelberg and it is the title of an anthology I published with The Wild Rose Press!

Bryonna, your New Years tradition sounds divine! I’m not one to go out and party, so a quiet night at home with a book in my hand sounds hard to beat.

One of my traditions, in recent years, is eating dinner with a dear friend of mine. We usually visit family in TN after Christmas and return on New Years Day, so the night before we leave(NY Eve) we meet with my friend (also named Cheryl) and the two Cheryl’s and my family ring in the new year with a delicious meal, great company, and a toast.

Loved learning about the diverse traditions. Perhaps I’ll take on the 12 grapes at midnight one–seeing as my mother was a Spaniard.

Happy New Year y’all!

Thanks for sharing the great New Years traditions. It was a wonderful around the world trip. My husband and I ususally stay at home. We have on occasion gone to some party but not often. Mostly it is just nice to sleep.

Interesting stuff, Bryonna! I usually celebrate NYE with my youngest and my brother and his wife. This year my firstborn and his girlfriend joined us too, along with another couple I ran into at the Flashlight 5K I ran in Lawrenceville at 6:00. My new male friend came over later so I actually shared a kiss at midnight for the first time in quite a few years. It was all so much fun. Thanks for the giveaway, Dianna!
