Re: I'm Staying Up New Year's Eve

I was just thinking this morning that this year may very well be our "cherry on the top" for the entire decade.  But I am anxious to find out because this year is beyond horrible.

Hoppin' John is a traditional southern dish of blackeyed peas and rice, eaten at New Years for good luck in the coming year.

 

Many recipes available on google.

@Anonymous032819 give 2020 a hard shove for all of us

 

Reminds me of Queen Elizabeth's labeling her year as an "annus horribilis."  This year ceetainly qualifies as that for me.

You have not lived until you've eaten real red beans and rice down in Louisiana made from the grease can on the counter.  It was worth the year off my life.

I have my doubts about 2021 being much different than 2020.  Hope I am alive to find out.

Guess that herring doesn't work after all.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.

I have a feeling there will not be many at Times Square, the ball drop will happen but it will be a much smaller event

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@I am still oxox   I'm actually going to say the opposite.  I think people will be drunker and more ready to tell 2020 where to go than normal.  Although I hope you're right.
