What are your favorite holiday memories and traditions?  Would you like to share the holiday traditions of your faith, or if you are from another country outside of the USA, what are some different traditions that you have?


What are some of the holiday traditions that you would like to teach to your children and to pass onto other generations?

  2) Must hold a piece of silver and a pack of matches in your hands@ midnight, represent good fortune for the New Year.


  3) Only a dark-haired male to be the first person to cross the threshold@ midnight, representing  positive direction;


       ***Must be carrying new broom upon crossing threshold,sweep-in good fortune ,then, toss-out old broom,( to rid,bad luck !)


  4) Every doorway is blessed with Holy Water, to dispell evil spirits from entering  the happy home.


  5) Must eat  apples cooked in saurkraut, to dispell bitter memories of days past; must consume pig,not fowl, for


       New Year's Day Dinner.***Pigs are," happy,celebratory,;" Fowls cry foul; always scratching / scavenging the earth,
