People have various superstitions on how to conduct their affairs on New Year's Day. The belief is whatever you do will set the pattern for the year to come.
So don't fight, and pay the bills! =)
I am not superstitious, but if what we do on this day really set the pattern for the year ahead then I am glad to have spent it with my family.
On New Year's Eve, Jay, Caitlin and I spent it with Jay's family.
Before midnight, we were already huddled inside the bedroom with the windows closed to prevent the smoke from coming in. For others, that's also hindering luck from entering.
At the stroke of 12, Caitlin and I awoke at the sound of firecrackers. Jay got up ahead of us, almost expecting a startled, crying baby. But Caitlin was comforted by our presence and kept calm and quiet until the last firecracker went off.
For breakfast, it was only us three at Pancake House in Eastwood, Libis since neither Jay nor I wanted to wash the dishes but not because of the superstition. The helper was out and we were just not up to it yet.
We had my family over for lunch, and yes, we eventually washed the dishes. We then dined with friends and new acquaintances at night then called it a day by 11:00 pm.
Except for Caitlin, Jay and I didn't wear clothes with polka dots. We also didn't fill our wallets with fresh bills nor stacked up on 12 round fruits, among the many superstitious beliefs.
But whether you are strictly superstitious or only believe what you think works for you, what's important is to be with those you love.
Happy New Year Everyday Mommy!
