Happy New Year 2022; New Year’s Celebration’s and Traditions

Every culture has its own ways to ring in a lucky new year. Sometimes, you must start the year off with good luck foods to make sure you get going on the right foot. (Beans, round foods and noodles seem to be high on the list, as well as some lucky desserts!) Other times, what you wear is indicative of what will come your way, be it health, money or love.

Cooking with Mumzy!

Hello everyone, this will be the last section of recipes of the Year. So, I will tell you how I am going to spend my New Year’s Day. First off, I am very thankful that I have made it through this year. I am very blessed with my family, friends, job and other activities. I hope this day finds each one of you are healthy, happy and ready to start a New Year. I grew up with a tradition that my parents would boil their money that they had on them this New Year’s Day for my dad believed that it would make him prosper in the New Year. I don’t know if it did or not, I haven’t practiced this in the last several years, I didn’t see that it made a difference in my life, but now that I am telling you this maybe I should and will start doing this again, seems the older generation was very smart. Maybe we need to get back to doing some of the things our family did in the past. So on to the next chapter, Happy New Year and as always REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE!

The significance of wonder . . .

“Well, if it isn’t the Fleming girls,” Santa’s deep voice boomed to my sister and I. The year was about 1967 and two little girls stood amazed before this man clad in red and white in a shopping mall in a Kansas City suburb. It was like standing before the powerful and all-knowing Oz. He continued, “I happen to know that after you two go to bed each night you giggle and tell each other stories until your parents have to come to your bedroom door and tell you to go to sleep.” We nodded in wide-eyed silence. What else could we do? It was Santa. And he had just disclosed our nightly routine that only we knew. There we were standing before him, and he knew our names! The stories about him delivering presents one night a year to every household to good girls and boys made him mysterious to us. We were believers.

Last Minute Gift Ideas

Supply chain issues abound. At least that’s what they say. It’s in the headlines (though I did not actually read those articles) Late night talk show hosts make jokes about it so it’s probably hard to get some stuff. Also, I happen to know that you procrastinated. You have not bothered to browse in person, let alone online (well, at least not for anyone else), and now you need a gift so much as even. Immediately.
