#52: My New Years Traditions

I have quite a few.

I give myself the gift of a new broom every year. (I also love to give new brooms to newlyweds and those who are moving to new homes.) Then just before midnight on December 31, I open the windows and doors of my home and with my new broom I sweep out the old year. As the fireworks and bells go off in my little town letting me know that January 1st has arrived, I invite the new year in. I’ve been doing this for so long now I can’t even remember where I learned about it.
