Leaving shoes by the fireplace to get gifts? Wow, ANOTHER gift-getting day? I think I'm gonna try that one...now if only I had a fireplace!

Wow, great stuff...thanks for sharing:) Happy TT.

Great post! Mine's ready for viewing...:)

All the different customs are very cool. Have a great TT. :)

Every New Year's eve my in-laws through a huge party / feast. It is so much fun. We have a jigsaw puzzle and the goal is to get it done by midnight (but we rarely do). Then of course the Rose Parade the next day. I've even seen it live a few years but haven't been since 1999.

Happy TT. I'm giving a calendar away with my TT this week.

Fun facts! I love getting up early and watching the Rose Parade...

Very interesting. I like the tradition of drinking heavily and sleeping late on New year's Day!

The Rose Parade thing is cool.

"Greek children leave their shoes by the fireplace on New Year's Day, hoping Saint Basil will come and fill their shoes with gifts!"

Sorta like the stockings hanging around the fireplace.

I'm one that eats black-eyed peas and ham on New Years. Yummo! :) Happy TT!

Hope your new year is filled with wonderous things.

happy new year intesting we do Sour Krautand pork

Funny, I'm not usually superstitious, but I've eaten black-eyed peas on New Year's Day for years!

Very interesting!

Come visit my Thursday Thirteen if you get a chance. :)

I'll have to share this with my brother. Our family is Greek and he named his son Basil!

Great Thursday post! Come visit mine before everyone drinks it!
