Happy is to much for me. I'll settle with being lucky enough to even have
a full new year. But to the rest of you: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Or in the eternal words of ABBA:
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we dont we might as well lay down and die
You and i

I must confess. I do so love Agneta. 😀
Originally posted by NordlysYou soak the beans overnight on the 31st because you have to soak them before cooking them. But one tradition is to eat them on New Year's Day. Oh, well. Maybe next year! 😛
Is that something you are supposed to do during the night of 31 December / 1 January, or is it just something you had planned for your dinner today?
Originally posted by reader1107I don't think I've ever eaten black-eyed peas. Maybe I should try it next year on New Year's Day (although I don't know if I can get them here - on the other hand, quite likely I won't be here on New Year's Day next year anyway).

Originally posted by NordlysOH! You were in my dream two nights ago!!! It was a dream that was totally unrelated to anything here, except that as part of it you were there with your parents, and your mother was Japanese, and I thought "No wonder she knows how to speak Japanese." Then the dream went on with whatever it was about.
I don't know. Quite likely I'll be in Berlin (where my parents live), but I also want to go to Tokyo to visit my brother and his family some day, and Christmas / New Year would probably be a good time to do that (summer is too hot).

Originally posted by arrakisExtremely unlikely. She probably has some Jewish blood in her veins which was deleted from the family tree (or transformed into French blood) during the Third Reich, but there was no reason to hide Japanese blood. And her Japanese is even worse than mine.
Maybe your mother has some Japanese in her that you don't know about. 😕
