How you celebrate the New Year depends on your heritage and your cultural traditions. Some try to scare away last year’s demons , others drink or eat away the old and toast the new. Some kill the Kitchen God–again.
Some do new things for a new year. Wearing new clothes for instance.
People like to gather together and toast to the new beginnings and to declare that the coming year will be great!
If there are a lot of church bells thereabouts people will ring them.
As long as you are coming together with family and friends eating a meal together will be in vogue.
Some welcome the New God and say goodbye to the old one.
Some repent of the foibles of the old year.
Some stay up to see the first sunrise of the new year.
In some places a simple piece of food like a grape is eaten ritualistically.
Some put charms or money in food because apparently it is good luck to break a tooth.
In many cultures people hide, seek, or wear coins or coin-like objects to attract wealth in the new year.
Drinking Champagne is often considered appropriate when the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve.
Dancing the old year away is a common practice.
Some of the Northern European countries spend New Year’s Eve being cold. Very cold.
Drinking toasts to the New Year is almost universal. What you drink isn’t.
Some wear red underwear—-to be lucky at love in the New Year.
Some think about what they want in the New Year and then practice sympathetic magic to get it. Want to travel: pack your bags. Want to get rich: wave about one bill of large denomination.
Giving and getting money goes over well.
Finally you can stay home and avoid the drunks and also avoid those scary Northern Europeans with their icy stares.

A dozen ways to win a million dollars
By poetryman69
Publishers Clearing house has been giving away up to $10 million for some time no and it costs nothing but some time and a little looking at some ads to enter.
PCH million dollar sweepstakes
If you fancy yourself a pirate and you have always wanted to tell some salty sea dog to surrender the booty, try the TroppoLotto sweepstakes. Just as with most sweeps these days, you may have to get past a lot of ads to sign up and enter the sweeps but it still doesn’t cost you a dime so why complain.
TroppLotto million dollar sweepstakes
FreeLotto also runs a sweepstakes that can win you a million dollars. You can try it here:
Never sign up for anything that costs you money when entering contests and playing sweepstakes games. Don’t give your banking or credit card information since you are not buying anything.
Anyone who charges a fee for entering or winning a contest or sweepstakes is ripping you off so move on and don’t pay the fee.

7 Ways to Get Fast Cash that Do Not Work!
By poetryman69
Once in a while an otherwise rational and intelligent person will come to me with a get rich quick scheme. They will have earnest and urgent reasons why it must work. They will state that they have to act now or the opportunity will be lost (Reminds me of those congressmen who don’t read legislation but insist we must act on it now or the republic will falter!)
Some old clichés are old clichés because they are true.
If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.
It it’s such an easy, lucrative money-making scheme, why is he sharing it with strangers. Commonsense tells you that dude has found an easier, quicker money-making scheme: Selling crap to morons!
Imagine if that device really did drive bugs and rats away. Then country folk could sic all their vermin on city folk and at last have their revenge!
If it is that good at killing living creatures or cutting grease, have you ever stopped to think that you are a living creature and that you are essentially made of grease?
Washing your hands and keeping your hands off your face will beat out hand sanitizers any day. Hey after using a gas station bathroom I go for the industrial strength hand sanitizer but on some level that stuff has to be cheapest stuff available and a world-class ripoff. Where can I sign up for shares in that company!
Did anyone else notice that governments spent billions on a vaccine no one would take for a disease that was less lethal than the normal flu?
That foot wasn’t luck for the rabbit!
Now let’s look at some rip-offs!
Betting with borrowed money and other risky business
Most men have a scheme that will not work
