We’ll be here at home for New Year’s Eve/Day this year. I’ll be making our traditional New Year’s Day Good Luck meal of sausages and Sauerkraut. This year instead of Brats we’re having Aidelle’s Chicken and Apple sausage that I cook in the crockpot with Sauerkraut, onion, garlic, and a few other things to make a sauce. We’ll have that with a salad, we’ll toast with a glass of chilled Prosecco, and I’m making a Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake with a lemon glaze for dessert.

Do you ring in the New Year with a good luck meal? What do you eat on New Year’s Day?

I’d like to take a second to thank you for joining me on this blog journey this year. It’s been wonderful getting to know you and share photos, trips, and experiences with you, and you sharing some of yours with me through your blogs. I am looking forward to seeing where the New Year takes us. I wish you all a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year! 🥂🍾🎆

Theme week 4 for the month of December is Christmas Where You Are. For my entry I’ve shared our tree, and some of our Christmas decorations.  I really love the tree this year.  Even sans the topping star. I couldn’t find it for weeks! I found it 2 weeks ago, but am afraid I’ll topple the tree if I attempt to put it on, so we’re topless this year.

#1 Grandson (he turned 3 last Saturday!) really loves the tree with its ornaments, lights and Bears.  A tradition that #1 Grandson is going to start understanding this year; when he wakes up tomorrow The Bears will be gone! They’ll leave a note on the tree that says they’ve gone to help Santa with the last BIG push to get things done in time for his trip Christmas Eve, but don’t worry! They’ll be back Christmas morning. 🙂

I think he’s brought the magic, awe, and joy back to the house this Christmas, and it’s infectious. YEAH!

From my house to yours may your hearts be filled with everything joyous, and wonderful this season brings.  Merry Christmas!
