Today is New Year's Day at our house. We celebrated New Year's Eve yesterday with Isabella and the urban planner. What with holidays having been moved around lately at the will of the US government and midnight being a matter of where you are and the calendar being an arbitrary human construct anyway, we decided that we could celebrate whenever we liked.
So we celebrated a day early on a weekend, which is more convenient for us, and we declared Greenwich Mean Time as official. At midnight (4 PM Pacific Time) yesterday we blew on our noisemakers and wished one another a healthy and prosperous 2008. We would have toasted but we had drunk all the wine in the earlier festivities. Everybody was home and in bed by 6 AM GMT (10 PM PT.)
That makes today New Year's Day at our house. In the old southern tradition I always make hoppin' John on New Year's Day. I need to find me a ham hock pronto.
