New Year's Eve!

Well, as much as I do not like to wish my life away, I am pretty glad that 2012 is almost over.  This has not been the best year for us.



I am looking forward to 2013 and praying for a better year!  Since it is New Year's Eve, I am wondering if you have any New Year's traditions?

I have been making a vision board for the last 4 years.  I just enjoy making it and then looking back on it and seeing what I have been able to accomplish.  I usually get mine made a couple of days before the year ends, but I haven't started on 2013 yet.  I may be making it on New Year's Day.



We also always eat black eyed peas on New Years Day.  This is a tradition that has been done for as long as I can remember.  Black eyed peas are supposed to bring luck in the new year!



I have a couple of friends that shared their traditions and I am thinking that they may become tradtions in our family too.

God box - write down your worries, stressors or just your prayers and put them in a pretty box or jar.  Turn them over to God and let it go!

Bayberry taper candle -  burning a bayberry taper candle on New Year's Day until it burns out.  "A bayberry candle burned to the socket brings health to the home and wealth to the pocket."

Things to do jar - write down 12 things you want to do in 2013 and put them in a jar.  Each month draw one out and go and make it happen!  I love this idea!

This year we are going out to eat with friends and then over to a party at another friends house.  We are going to have so much fun!

Do you have a New Year's Tradition?  I'd love to hear what it is. 

Happy New Year's Eve - Celebrate and have fun, but be safe!  Don't drink and drive, please!
