Till next time … Betty “Be always at war with your vices, at Peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better person.” New Year’s Resolutions and Traditions The New Years’ holiday is often marked by fireworks, parades and reflection upon the last year while looking ahead to the future’s possibilities. It originated thousands of years ago in ancient Babylon, celebrated as an eleven day festival on the first day of spring. The early celebrations were more paganistic in nature, celebrating Earth’s cycles and Christian traditions. But in the twentieth century, the holiday grew into its own celebration and mostly separated from the common association with religion. Some of the most common traditions include: Making new resolutions to improve one’s life. A gathering of loved ones, parades, football, champagne, noise makers and the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” CLASSIC HERITAGE CLUB Qualifications for Heritage Club Members Happy We thoughtBirthday, we would to likeall to our refresh everyonewith on the qualifications members birthdays in toJanuary belong toand the Heritage Club.
