Every year in August (my birthday month), I purchase the next year's Gooseberry Patch wall calendar and appointment book. I love the pictures, and I always anticipate hanging the new calendar and writing in my new appointment book. So the tradition continues...on January 1st, the old calendar comes out of the frame, and the new one goes in!
And later today, we'll have black-eyed peas, turnip greens, ham, and cornbread...a true Southern traditional New Year's meal! My grandpa always said that the peas meant lots of pocket change, and the turnips represented 'green backs' (paper money) for the upcoming year. We better eat LOTS of them! LOL
What are your New Year's traditions? Oh, and I guess I'll make my list of New Year's 'intentions'! I'm not too faithful with resolutions...so I'll have intentions!
Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing your calendar. I've been visiting your blog for a few months now and I look forward to your posts. As far as calendars go, I usually have one from Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables) but for some reason I overlooked buying one for 2008. Fortunately, my friend is from the Island and makes regular trips (we're about an hour and a half away) so I'm going to see if she will pick one up for me on her next visit.
However, I did pick out my devotional books for the year today and I'm looking forward to the inspirational thoughts and ideas they'll give me.
Blessings & Happy New Year
