This just brought a memory of Dec 31 ~1958. We were at my uncle’s farm for the holidays. It was extremely cold and my uncle brought the newborn piglets into the kitchen to keep them warm. In the morning 18 little piglets were running around the kitchen.

How sweet!

I remember our tradition of pickled herring at the New Year for good luck. I still love it.

A Spanish tradition is to eat 12 grapes on New Year to bring good luck.

Does anyone else remember the nothing burger called Y2K?? The world was going to end at midnight 12/31/1999 because all the computers were going to crash. But when we woke up on 1/1/2000 all was good.

Happy New Year 2026

Yes, we were living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula then, and the town of Negaunee flunked its Y2K test. That made me a little nervous, but it all turned out OK.
