Eve/Day?>>
 
We don't do much for New Year's.  Hubby doesn't think it's much to get 
excited about, and my biggest tradition is rereading my journal from the last year 
:-)  I do like to watch the Mummer's Parade, having grown up near Philly, 
although hubby doesn't really get that either.  I compromise with him (since it is 
literally running all day long, about 14 hours)  and turn it on briefly for 
the comics and fancies from time to time, but I MUST watch the string bands 
which come on at the end.
 
As far as food, no major traditions.  I would like to do pork and sauerkraut, 
but hubby won't eat the kraut and there's no point in buying a package for 
myself.  So  currently I have a pork roast in the crockpot, salted, peppered and 
stuck with garlic, and with onions, a little water and soy sauce, a couple of 
bay leaves and a whole clove in it, roasting slowly; we'll have mashed 
potatos and snap peas with it.  No real plans for tomorrow at this point.
