What’s Your New Year’s Resolution? By David Robertson Christmas has past and the new years celebrations are upon us, but has all this over indulgence had an effect on our health? The new year is a great opportunity for kicking some of those bad habits and working off some of those gained extra pounds! Lets look at the most popular new years resolutions; Spending more time with those important to you Make plans to spend more quality time with friends, family and loved ones. Sometimes it just takes a moment to step back and re-evaluate what is important to you in life and to make sure you reflect this in your free time. There may be a need for big changes in your life to free up time to do this, maybe you’ve been devoting too many evenings to selfish activities. More exercise In these times, many of us don’t get enough regular exercise from our daily working lives. This can lead to long term health problems both physically and mentally, effecting your motivation, zest for life, well being, physical appearance, stamina, life expectancy and many more factors. Whether you decide to join a gym, go for daily jogs, cycle or work out at home etc.. the trick is to keep at it. Try to find a way of exercising that is enjoyable to you and will fit easily into your daily life otherwise you may not stick at it for long. Dieting Everyone loves to indulge over Christmas with all that extra food in the cupboards. The New Year is the perfect time to re-evaluate your eating habits,
so that the over indulgence in food and drink doesn’t turn into a habit that follows on into the new year. Enjoy life It’s very easy in this day and age to get caught up in the rat race and lose perspective of what we are doing on this planet. Sometimes we need to look at whats important to ourselves and begin making sure our efforts in life complement what you feel is important as an individual. Quit smoking Everyone knows, or should know the terrible effects that smoking has on the body. After a matter of weeks of quitting the habit the quitter will feel noticeably healthier physically, but the battle will still be a long and challenging one. Quit drinking Many people undertake a detox around this time of year, or even go the full hog and give up completely. Many people over Christmas and new year drink more than they normally would and this alone can be a reason to start a detox. The effects of alcohol on the liver can be fatal when in excess and even on a small scale drinking effects sleep and energy levels. Get out of debt Christmas affects all of us financially and for some this may have pushed the bank balance into the minus. In other cases the bank balance may have already been in the minus, either way this is a great time to make those changes needed in order to get your life back on track financially. Learn something new
Learning or doing something new is a great way to start the new year, this could be something that puts you in good stead in time to come, such as doing evening classes or it may be something just for personal enjoyment such as horse riding.

Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life Turbulent, fast-paced, chaotic - the modern world is increasingly hectic. From this oft-crazy environment, a new movement is emerging where people are pausing to find deeper meaning in everyday life. Selfempowerment and true emotional connections can counterbalance daily stress and uncertainty, providing happiness and a genuine sense of worth. If you find the days seem to slip away and life’s hurried pace to be draining, it’s time to find some simple ways to add meaning to your life. Here are five ideas for nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and others: 1. Reconnect with your passion Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather
than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded. 2. Express your individuality Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. You can select from 24 hand finished charms, each representing inner-values like faith, love, courage, confidence and wisdom. Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life. 3. Give back Volunteering in your community is a great way to connect with others and find deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West
Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you. 4. Find “me time” Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day. 5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living,
healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.
How to get the most out of your new tablet in the new year Tablets are clearly today’s hot tech device: shipments will reach 184 million units in 2013 alone, estimates Gartner, an information technology research company. If you don’t already own a tablet, it’s very possible you might receive an iPad, Kindle or Nexus as a holiday gift. Knowing a few tricks to get the most out of your new mobile device will ensure it helps streamline your life both at work and at home. Software concerns and solutions: The kingpin of tablets is, of course, the iPad. Most people use their tablets alongside their existing technology so they complement each other and help make life simpler at home and on the go. If you have a Windows
Page 4
PC or a Mac at home, you might be concerned about if you can run programs you have on your home computer - like Word, Excel and PowerPoint - on your new tablet. Unfortunately, these and many other full-featured applications are not yet available on tablets. Remote access and functionality: Great news for iPad users is that today with Parallels Access for iPad (www.parallels.com/access) you can remotely access everything on your Mac or PC - including all of your full-featured applications such as Excel - and use native iPad gestures including tap, swipe, pinch and zoom, just like they were made for your iPad. You can even use Internet Explorer on your computer to watch Flash
The Newport News
videos with sound via your iPad. No more waiting for the applications you already invested in to be available on the iPad - real mobile productivity is finally here. Now you can start leaving your computer at home or work and use your iPad to get more done on the go. Did your daughter leave her homework on your home PC? Simply access your home computer from work with your iPad and email it to her teacher before today’s deadline. Did your boss request a few lastminute changes to your PowerPoint presentation but you are out of the office and unable to get back before his deadline? Relax. Use your iPad to tap into your work computer to quickly make and send the changes before his important meeting. From executives to soccer moms, Parallels Access enhances your iPad’s functionality so you can do what you need to easily and efficiently. Download a free trial of Parallels Access onto your iPad at the iTunes App Store. Battery life: Another main concern for tablet users is battery life. You may be surprised just how often you use your iPad for work and play, which means you’ll be using up your battery quickly.
It’s important to learn how to conserve battery life so you’re not tethered to an outlet constantly. Make it a habit to check the system’s task manager and close unused apps - simply double click the iPad home button and you’ll see the task bar displaying all open applications. Remember, even if you aren’t interacting with apps, if they remain open after you close them, they still suck energy. Quitting unused apps running in the background is a simple way to extend your iPad’s battery life. Another way to conserve energy and boost battery life is to adjust the screen light intensity. It takes energy to light that beautiful iPad screen, so it’s wise to adjust settings to as low as is comfortable without straining your eyes. Reducing your iPad from full-bright levels will help so you don’t get a battery warning sooner than you’d like - simple click on the settings icon on the screen and adjust appropriately. As more of the world goes mobile, tablets are here to stay. Use these tips to get the most out of your new iPad and enjoy the features and programs you love from all your technology devices.

Good Luck Foods to Serve for New Year Celebrations
By Shelly McRae New Year celebrations symbolize the setting aside of the past and looking forward to a new year of prosperity and good health. When planning your New Year’s party, invite good fortune into your home with some of these good luck foods and traditions. Southern Traditions Hoppin’ John, a dish made from black-eyed peas and pork fat, is thought to have its origins from the African slaves of the early 1800s. As for its powers to attract good luck, that lies in a civil war legend. Lauren Salkeld, writing for Epicurous. com, explains that during a prolonged battle in Vicksburg, Mississippi food stores were nearly depleted when a large cache of black-eyed peas was discovered. The legume has since been considered a symbol of good luck. Serve the Hoppin’ John with an abundance of greens and cornbread. The greens, preferably collard greens, represent money, or more specifically, folding money, while the cornbread represents coin because it is the color of gold coin. European Traditions Greens aren’t just found in the good luck lore of the south. In Germany and Ireland, green cabbage is served with braised pork or corned beef. Legumes also grace the tables of New Year revelers in the European tradition; lentils in particular are paired with pork, as the lentils resemble coin and pork has its own place in the celebrations. Pork as a New Year’s Eve celebratory food has origins from Spain,
Portugal and Austria, among other European countries. The traditions include such delicious dishes as roasted suckling pig, roast pork, pork sausages and pigs’ feet. The pig is a good luck symbol for a prosperous New Year because of its habit of rutting forward; it digs in and pushes forward, letting nothing prevent it from reaching its goal. Hispanic Traditions The tradition of eating a grape at each stroke of the clock at midnight on New Year’s Eve originated in Spain, and was a response to a grape surplus in 1909. It was a practical solution and is now associated with foretelling the fortunes of the coming year. The tradition is common throughout Mexico and South America.
The idea behind this tradition is to eat a grape at each chime of the clock, not to be confused with each second of a countdown to midnight. At midnight, in Spain, the clock in the Plaza del Sol chimes 12 times. A chime lasts just long enough to eat a grape- quickly. Each grape represents one month of the coming year. The first grape is indicative of January, then, and if sour, January may be a difficult month. Along with the tradition of 12 grapes is custom of placing a coin in the pan dulce, a Mexican sweet bread. The baker in the family hides a coin in one of the treats, and the recipient of the coin is said to have good luck throughout the year.
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~ Oprah Winfrey The Newport News

New Year’s Eve Champagne By Julie Wimmer Champagne is a New Years Eve staple. Most people, when they hear the word Champagne, think celebration, and New Years Eve is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, celebrations in the world. Whether you are a Champagne and/or wine drinker or not, it is always fun to toast the new year with a sip of the bubbly stuff. Lucky for us, there are different kinds to choose from depending on your palate and budget. What are the different kinds of Champagne? Champagne, as most of us know, is basically sparkling wine, however, there are different types. There is sweet Champagne and dry Champagne, just like wine. When the bottle claims the Champagne is “Extra-dry,” that obviously means it is dry, however, “Brut” means it is the driest kind of Champagne. The sweet bottles of Champagne are called “Sec,” which is sweet, and “Demi-Sec,” which is the sweetest. Picking a dry Champagne or a sweet Champagne can depend on taste, food or price. My father is a wine connoisseur. He has been buy-
ing, tasting and testing wine’s since before I was born. We even had a full wine cellar, although it was raw (dug out from the basement with a metal rack put inside,) in our house growing up. Suggestions from my father: Sweet wine and Champagne, according to my father, go with cheeses, red meat and saltier fair. Dry wine and Champagne are better paired with desserts, fruits and sweeter dishes like a chicken dish with a sweet sauce. Buying Champagne When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Nantucket years ago, we decided to over-splurge one night on dinner. We’d heard a particular restaurant was worth it, and it was, so we even splurged on the Champagne we ordered to toast ourselves. Each glass, however, was $25. We picked out what was considered an expensive Champagne, and it was certainly delicious, however, that price is steep. You can get a great Champagne at $25 for the entire bottle. You just have to know how to pick it. There are many brands, Korbel, Taittinger , Veuve (with that familiar
yellow label,), Dom Perignon, Freixenet and many more that we have seen at liquor stores or heard about from commercials or magazine ads. If you are having guests who know nothing about wine or Champagne and are only going to have a sip at midnight, then it’s okay to go with a Spumante (which you can get for $6) or Freixenet. If you care about the taste however, do some research. Dom Perignon is high end, and yes, delicious no matter what type you pick, but a bottle can run you $100 and up. If you have that sort of cash and want to spend it, great, you are very fortunate. Taittinger has been rated in wine magazines and they have bottles, both dry and sweet, that start at $23. A nice pick for a dinner party or New
Years Eve. Veuve is very popular, however they also have great prices (like Taittinger) and many fantastic tastes to choose from. This brand is a great option for a large party on New Years Eve.

Tips for hosting a new years party that shines Entertaining with family and friends is one part of the holiday season that we all look forward to. But holiday hosting can sometimes be harried. To keep you and your guests merry this season, consider hosting a wine party that shines. David Mirassou, wine expert and sixth generation of America’s oldest winemaking family, believes that food and wine enhance one another and are best shared with family and friends. His secret to hosting a stressfree soiree is planning for a creative, small-bite menu with wine pairings that highlight the flavors of each dish. “The wine you select should complement the food, look beautiful on the table and inspire toasts,” says Mirassou. “The right wine can add elegance to any holiday occasion and it can play an important role as both a gift and entertaining staple at celebrations throughout the season.” Here are a few wine entertaining and gift-giving tips to get you in the holiday spirit: * Offer small bites and festive fare. Prepare an assortment of appetizers and small plates for entertaining, allowing your guests more sampling opportunities and letting you out of the kitchen to mingle more.
* Create a cozy setting. Consider setting up food stations in your home to allow guests to congregate in different areas. Floor cushions around a coffee table and coasters on the mantle will encourage mingling. * Plan to offer your guests both a red wine and a white wine. A Chardonnay has wide appeal because it has fruitforward flavors to maximize food pairing options. A Pinot Noir also has great versatility in food and wine pairings. * How much wine should you serve? A general rule of thumb is to plan on about one glass of wine per person for each hour of the gathering. * Stretch your wine dollar. Now is the time to take advantage of price breaks for purchases of six or more bottles at many supermarket chains. For an event, the savings can really add up. * Personalize a gift from the vine. Not hosting this season? With very little effort, wine can be a gift with a personal touch. Embellish wine gift bags or boxes with festive ribbon and trim or add a custom neck tag by writing a note about the wine you are giving. Having trouble picking the right wine to give as a gift? Visit Mirassou.com to take their quiz and
see what’s right for you, along with some wine pairing ideas. You can also visit the site or Facebook.com/ MirassouWinery for more entertaining tips and recipe ideas. Try this Belgian Endive and Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad - an easy-toprepare recipe that is also festive in its presentation. Belgian Endive with Dried Cherry Quinoa Salad Prep time: 15 minutes Cook/stand time: 22 minutes Chill time: at least 1 hour Ingredients: Salad: 1 cup quinoa 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or broth 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted 24 Belgian endive spears Dressing: 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste Directions: Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve; drain well. Bring stock and quinoa to a boil in a small
saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Whisk together all dressing ingredients and stir into quinoa with cherries, chives and thyme. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Stir in walnuts and spoon into endive spears. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Makes 8 servings. Recipe tip: This light appetizer may be prepared one day ahead. Add walnuts and spoon into endive spears just before serving. Use a tri-color quinoa blend for extra color. Pairs best with Mirassou Sunset Red.
Dazzling New Years party looks from head to toe ‘Tis the season for glitzing up a sparkling holiday look. From office parties and family gatherings to community events and charity galas, now is the time to look and feel your best. It may be a hectic time of year, but with a little preparation and creativity you can dazzle all season long. Try these quick and easy tips from beauty and style expert Jennifer Walsh for a stellar head-to-toe holiday look: * Start with your hairstyle. Create a chic and classic look by pulling your hair back into a simple ponytail and embellish with a jeweled headband to shine in the festive holiday lights. Complete the look with understated stud earrings. * When it comes to makeup this holiday season, you can be more daring with your eyes and lips. A deep smoky eye in shades of gray, bronze or plum is sure to turn up any look. If you are looking to catch someone special under the mistletoe, nothing stands out more than a bold red lip. * For your nails, opt for a gel manicure in a neutral hue that will go from day to night. The gel finish will last for weeks without chipping - no matter how many presents you wrap or parties you attend. Moreover, it
will save you the time, hassle and expense of multiple visits to the nail salon. * A sleeveless black dress is perfect for the holidays, allowing you to attend a variety of events by changing just a few accessories. Choose two elements of your look to introduce
shine, texture or color. I often go for a bold statement necklace or add a glitzy belt. On those chilly nights, incorporate a simple wrap or cardigan. * Finish your outfit by selecting a pair of eye-catching shoes with metallic studs or jeweled trim. They
are a great way to show off your personality and are sure to turn heads. Follow these tips to create a holiday style that is all your own and get ready to hit the town while enjoying the season’s festivities with family, friends and loved ones.

Candlelight Concert 2014 Rings in the Holiday Season Segerstrom Center for the Arts celebrated its 41st annual Candlelight Concert with 350 guests who together, help raise nearly $1.9 million dollars to support the Center’s arts and education programs. Center Board member Shanaz Langson and her husband Jack served as co-chairs with Center Executive Vice President Judith (Judy) O’Dea Morr was the evening’s special honoree. Guests began their evening with a dramatic walk up the black carpet (in keeping with traditional Deco black, green and gold décor) to Segerstrom Hall’s Orchestra Terrace lobby. They were greeted with holiday music performed by the Sonora Elementary Hand bell Choir. After pausing for commemorative photos which they later took home, guests moved directly into the hall. Candlelight Concert is always held in Segerstrom Hall, the room is dramatically transformed into a glamorous Art Deco ballroom keeping with the Frank Sinatra Centennial (Old Blue Eyes would have been 100 years old on December 12th!). The Orchestra Level seating of the Segerstrom Hall was terraced, with the fifth and top level serving as a large reception area where the Veuve Clicquot and truffle bars were stationed. Massive chandeliers underwritten by Angela and James Hsu were suspended above the four lower terraces, which were used for dining and dancing. Art Deco architectural designs projected against the walks created the illusion of a grand vintage ballroom in a sophisticated bygone era. Star entertainment was provided by the renowned singer, musical director and conductor Frank Sinatra., Jr. and his 37-piece orchestra. San Francisco’s super band, Super Diamond, the group that has transcended the label of tribute band by passionately immersing themselves in Neil Diamond’s huge repertoire and delivering high-octane performances around the country played after dinner with folks dancing the night away to his greatest hits. Center Board Chairman Lawrence M. Higby concluded the remarks by announcing that the Center’s Founders Hall would be renamed The Judy Morr Theater. Higby said, “On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, it is our tremendous honor to celebrate the incredible contributions of Judy with this new name,” Higby stated. “We hope that she will continue to work her magic for many years to come. But with this name, we know that Judy will always be an unforgettable presence here at the Center.” Morr, who is celebrating her 30th anniversary with the Center, has helped chart its course to become one of the most prestigious and successful arts centers in the nation. The theater has been the site of many Center performances and special events, has served for as a rehearsal space for visiting ballet companies and choreographers, and will be an integral studio space for the ABT Gillespie School. Kia and Versace were sponsors of Candlelight Concert. Kia is the official automotive partner of the Center and provided the evening’s valet lounge. Versace hosted an in-store reception and showing of the celebrated women’s and men’s formalwear designs earlier in the year. A portion of the sales made at that event were donated to the Center by Versace. The Center presents a broad range of programming each season for audiences of all ages from throughout Orange County and beyond, including international ballet and dance, national tours of top Broadway shows, intimate performances of jazz and cabaret, contemporary artists, classical music performed by renowned chamber orchestras and ensembles, family-friendly programming, free performances open to the public from outdoor movie screenings to dancing on the plaza and many other special events. In addition to the presenting and producing institution Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the 14-acre campus also embraces the facilities of two independent acclaimed organizations: Tony Award®-winning South Coast Repertory and a site designated as the future home of the Orange County Museum of Art.

Design Diaries is a bi-weekly segment; meant to inspire, influence and educate homewoners that are ready to make a change to their homes but just don’t know where to start. Pantry Solutions for the New Year! Pantry Space…In any kitchen, pantry space, is a luxury. Check out what happens when you actually create a luxury pantry. These spaces really show how you can create space for everything -from your food storage to small appliance storage, to even your wine storage and it can all be done with style. At SKD Studios we love a large pantry space but we also know that no matter the size of the space, the configuration is equally as important. If you want a space that not only looks amazing but is practical as well, then check out these photos for some inspiration. I love that they all have doors to shut them off. We can even create a space that is “hidden” from view – meaning the doors can look just like your cabinetry until you open it up into a whole new world. Give us a call at SKD Studios so we cab help you organize your space for the new year as well as create a kitchen with an equally fabulous pantry to match. SKD Studios is located at 3415 Newport Blvd, Newport Beach CA. Visit our website at www.skdstudios.com for more design inspiration. We look forward to meeting you.

American New Years Traditions Explained By Tracy DeLuca New Year’s is a time to celebrate the end of the past year and welcome a new year. It is a time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. The parties and traditions surrounding this time are many and varied. But where do they come from? Who started them and why? New Year ’s Eve has specific traditions and celebrations as does New Year’s Day. Here are some specific traditions from America and where they come from. Auld Lang Syne - A traditional Scottish song that was first published in 1796, Auld Lang Syne is the most popular song that no one knows the words to! Guy Lombardo played the song on New Year’s Eve in 1929 and it has become a tradition ever since. The song celebrates the remembrance of old friends. Kissing At Midnight - On New Year’s Eve at the stroke of Midnight, everyone kisses. Even if you do not have someone to kiss, you wish you were kissing. This is more than just a celebration, it is a tradition with a base. It is generally believed that whatever you are doing when New Year’s day arrives is what you will be doing for the rest of the year. So, kissing your loved ones is just assuring yourself that you will be doing more of that over the coming year. Noisemakers - Trumpet like noisemakers, loud yells of “hooray!” and blaring music are traditional at Midnight. All of that noise is not just joy at the change in seasons, it has a basis in ancient beliefs as well. When gas and electric lights f i r s t b e c a m e u s e d p o p u l a r y, it became a tradition to turn on all of your lights and go to the church at Midnight on New Year’s Eve to hear the bells ringing. People began taking more noisemakers and hollering to make noise as well. This tradition originated from a belief that evil spirits would be scared away by the noise. Over the years, this morphed into the loud noisemaking that is so popular at Midnight on New Year’s Eve. Fireworks - A close partner to the noisemaking at Midnight is the numerous fireworks displays and the blowing up of firecrackers on New Year ’s. This goes hand in hand with the belief that loud noises frighten away evil spirits. The Chinese, of course,
are credited with inventing fireworks. Fireworks are also believed to draw good luck. Making Toasts - In ancient England, the saxons used a Wassail bowl filled with alcoholic beverages. A large cup might be passed around with a piece if hard bread in the bottom. Everyone drank from the cup and yelled out good wishes. Then, the host would eat the bread from the bottom of the cup. This is where the traditional “toasting” came from. Now, we make toasts honoring people and wishing good luck and a prosperous New Year. The Ball Dropping - The best known tradition and largest celebration in America is the New Year’s celebration in Times Square in New York City where “the ball drops”. This tradition started in 1907 and is the most widely viewed, and attended, celebration on New Year’s Eve. The ball dropping signifies the end of the old and the beginning of the new. The countdown and drop derive from a time signal used in naval harbors at noontime. Father Time and the New Years Baby - Many New Year’s decorations feature Father Time and the New Year’s Baby. The old year is represented by Father Time, a bearded old man with a walking stick, who carries an hour glass to symbolize the movement of time. Father Time has roots in the Greek god Chronos, as well as the Grim Reaper. The new year’s baby traces its ancestry to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who regarded the baby as a symbol of rebirth. The image of a baby with a New Year banner was brought to America by Germans immigrants. So, the old year hands over it’s responsibility to the new year, a time of rebirth and new chances. New Year ’s Resolutions - It is generally believed that the ancient Babylonians were the first people to make resolutions on New Year’s. Early Christians believed that the first day of the new year should be spent reflecting on your past actions and resolving to improve oneself in the coming year. From this has grown the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions. The tradition of breaking them is probably just as old! Tournament of Roses Parade - One of my personal favorite
traditions for New Year’s day is to watch the Pasadena, California Tournament of Roses Parade on television. The parade first started in 1886 when members of the Valley Hunt Club decorated their carriages with flowers for a parade celebrating the ripening of the orange crop. Now, we watch the parade and marvel at the beautiful floats covered in thousands and thousands of flowers. The Rose Bowl football game that follows the parade is another tradition. Eating Black Eyed Peas - In the southern part of the US, a major tradition is eating Black Eyed peas on New Year’s day. S u p p o s e d l y, d u r i n g the Ci vi l Wa r, b l a c k e y e d p e a s w e r e “cow peas” used for feeding cattle. But, during the Battle
of Vicksburg, the town was cut off from all food supplies for 40 days. The people survived by eating the “cow peas” that the enemy troops had left behind. Since that time, they have been regarded as bringing good luck to those who eat them. They are usually paired with greens which are a symbol for wealth. And there they are, some of the most famous traditions of New Year’s in America. Hopefully, you have some idea as to why we do the things we do on New Year’s Eve and Day now. So, kiss someone you love, make a toast, make some resolutions and eat some black eyed peas this year!

Easy to Create 5 Course New Years Day Dinner By Kimberly Sharpe Now that I have a family I enjoy spending New Years day cooking for my loved ones. I always like us to have a large meal that we can sit down and share together. It is a way for us to celebrate the day. Here is a guide to a simple to create five course meal that is affordable and fairly fast. 1) Ham You will need a ham that is a large enough for your whole family to enjoy. I prefer a boneless variety but I normally buy whatever is on sale. You will need two cans of Pineapple Slices and tooth picks. Save the pineapple juice that the pineapples are housed within in your refrigerator. You will need them to make potato’s. Take your ham and place it in a roaster pan. Now open your two cans of pineapple slices. Stick a slice of pineapple at various points all over your ham. Use the tooth picks to hold the pineapple in place. Place two cups of water into the bottom of the roaster. Now cover your roasting pan with the lid or tinfoil. Place your ham in an oven at around 385 degrees. Cook the ham until thoroughly done. This might take a long time if you buy a raw ham but if you purchase one that is already cooked you will be looking at only a couple of hours. Simply follow the directions on the ham. 2) Whipped Potato’s Peel as many potato’s as it will take to feed your family. Simply boil the potato’s until done. Now mash them by hand or with a blender. Place several tablespoons of butter and a cup of milk in the potato’s as you mash. I also like to chop up fresh chives to place
within the potato’s. 3) Rolls I like to buy the rolls that are in a refrigerator section of your store. These frozen rolls you set out all day to let rise but you can use any rolls that you desire. Simple buy whatever you want or make your own from scratch. 4) Cream Corn with Sour Cream and Cornbread You will need one can of cream corn. A tub of sour cream. One box of the jiffy corn bread mix. And a bag of shredded cheese. Take the cornbread and prepare it according to the box of directions on the jiffy box. Now take the cream corn and poor over the top of the cornbread. Once this id done take the sour cream and frost the cream corn about an inch thick. Now completely cover the sour cream with the shredded cheese. Place into the
