Today is a bit of a lazy day here at our house. We got to sleep in, and have been lounging our PJs all day! Rene's been enjoying some down time playing with his new Nintendo DS games and I've been crafting away. Here's hoping you are having a nice relaxing and enjoyable start to your 2012 as well!
Here's Stitch in his very dapper new collar (made by me)...
He's starting off the year on the right foot looking cute as ever! Though I may be a little biased! More crafty pics to come later!
On a side note, I postponed the start to my detox one day to tomorrow. My family always had pork and sauerkraut for New Years day. And now I've actually gotten Rene to eat it too! So we couldn't pass up tradition.
I looked into the reasoning behind the pork and sauerkraut tradition since in Texas and Florida no one seemed to eat it, and I just figured it was a northern thing. Down south everyone eats black eyed peas for good luck in the New Year. So I decided to see where the pork and kraut tradition started and why.
In looking around online I found that the tradition goes back to the Pennsylvania Dutch and New Englanders and it is said that eating this on January 1st would bring luck and prosperity to you in the new year!
It seems the reasoning for the New Years day foods are pretty much the same.
So are you a black eyed peas person or pork and kraut person to start off your new year?
We ordered pizza after we got married so we've gotten a pizza on New Years Day/our anniversary for the past three years! :)
