I and my Brother's family have had a tradition going back 24 years, and it may be a few years longer than that. For many of those years some great friends of ours from Rock Hill, SC have also participated. Depending on work schedules and such, we may be all be piled in for 2-3 nights and no one has to risk being on the road after drinking or with others who have been. We are actually near the end of our 2 1/2 days together now and we will start looking forward to next New Year's Eve.
That was really just a segue to other traditions that accompany Christmas and New Year's. My most hated and also most avoided is the Resolution tradition. I am sure there have been, at least, some non-scientific research on achievement percentage for New Year's resolutions. I hope that at the end of 2011, I am a little bit more faithful and gracious child of God. If I accomplish this, I will also be better as a Husband, Dad, Friend, and maybe a bit less grumpy, but I think that is genetic.
