Strange how different countries have different Holy Days even within the same faith. In Spain they have lots more than we have, they're also holidays from work too. Nice!<BR/><BR/>We always used to have pork for New Years Day lunch with the usual Yorkshire Puddings, apple sauce, roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts and turnip.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're all avoiding or recovering well from the dreaded bug. It's been a nasty one this year. Take care.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-53287227092776059002009-01-02T17:33:00.000+00:002009-01-02T17:33:00.000+00:00First footing - yes how we loved it even in Liverp...First footing - yes how we loved it even in Liverpool when growing up.

In my...Lovely memories of new years past, Winifred. In my Catholic faith, New Years Day is still a holy day and I am going to church in the morning, then to lunch at some friends house. Here, collard greens and turnip greens and black eyed peas are eaten for good luck. The greens bring more money one's way. So I'm eating a double serving! LOL. Pork is also traditional for the new year, but no fowl of any kind is allowed, or one will have bad luck in the new year.<BR/><BR/>May 2009 bring many blessings to you and yours.

And, I think just a little different 'take' on wording, since we are a long ways apart on this terrestrial ball.But we have in common God and one Saviour who ever calls..."Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest". He sure has given me that rest and peace. Wishing you a New Year filled with that same rest and peace.~~~I'm sewing a new skirt for myself and quite enthusiastic about it. In fact, time for me to get downstairs and start reviewing the directions for putting on the waistband.~~~I enjoyed reading your post about your memories and thoughts.
