This morning during our chat, Stewey asked me if I had any special traditions for New Year's Eve.
"Well", I said, happy that my little dog was finally interested in something other than the drapes, "My Mommie was very superstitious and felt that whatever you were doing on New Year's Eve reflected how the rest of the year would go for you. So she always made sure that we were all together, snug and safe and warm and that we had lots of good things to eat."
Stewey looked duly unimpressed and pushed me further, so I added: "One of your Mommie's biggest secrets is that she is madly, passionately, in love with Barry Manilow. Always has been. And every year on New Year's Eve, she would stand in front of the TeeVee with her hand over her heart listening to him sing "It's Just Another New Year's Eve" while pitiful tears fell down her fat sweaty face."
What can I say? Some traditions are well worth keeping...
So here's a little moment for you and yours today. Stewey and I hope that you will have the best year of your life in 2010 and that whatever you wish for comes true. In spades.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I wish you a very happy New Year and all the best for 2010. Greetings from Germany

Same to you and Stewey, Coni! Hope your mum wasn't too right about New Year as I have the flu today!
ReplyDeleteI like Barry Manilow too - not as much as Barry Gibb but then no-one comes close to Barry!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and Stewey.
Happy New Year Coni and Stewey! Off to listen to Barry now...
ReplyDeleteIf your mom is right then I will be doing a lot of stitching in the new year as that is what I plan on doing this evening. My only regret is the Real Housewives won't be on the telly.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR CONI AND STEWEY!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm thinking of your mom's belief about what you do on New Year's Eve....me thinks I will go to the bank and take out all my money and bring it home to roll around "nekkid" on it!!! LOL LOL

ReplyDeleteMy late mother-in-law thought the same about New Year's. Hope yours is happy and safe and spent with those you love.
ReplyDeleteHmm, maybe the annual New Year's Eve Fried Food Night is why I never manage to lose weight in the new year..... hmmmm .... Nah.
Coni, I hope you and Stewey (and Barry) have a very Happy New Year!!!
