Speaking of traditions...

..I was just on Face Book remembering how we used to celebrate New Years Eve:

We used to make root bear floats between 8-9 o'clock (that's right, load the kids up with sugar and send them off to bed).
I would never consider staying up until midnight to watch a ball drop somewhere back east and then have to get up in the morning with kids! I still wonder why we care. The new year will be waiting in the morning when you wake up. Celebrate with breakfast and the Rose parade!
For as long as I can remember I have made beans and rice. It is a southern tradition, I have no memory of it as a child living in the south, but I carried it with me into my own house (one of those internal rules Jennifer refers to). Today I have a ham hock, andouille sausage and the beans are soaking.
Happy 2010 everyone!
