A new Year.


A NEW YEAR is standing on our doorsteps.We all wonder what it is going to bring,Peace, Health and Happiness is what we are looking for. But we have to wait and do the best we know how. New Years day brings a lot of memories for me. We could not wait to get up in the morning and wish our parents Happy New Year, or Gelukkig Nieuw Yaar. If we got the first they had to pay us. This went on the whole day if we saw a friend or relations we try ed to get some money out of them.It was really for us a money making day, because you would have company all day. Uncles and Aunts would go from one to the other wishing and drinking. By the end of the day they all had a good time. Then the Mothers would have a nice meal what was called Stampot met snijbonen en worst.What was potatos, french cut beans and sausages.I bet that would taste good after the drinks.Here things are different, if you see some one you would say Happy New Year, but no traditions.I wish you all a Happy New Year. Peace on Earth and mostly Love.
