Rhino asked about any traditions we may have.  Our main one here is having homemade sauerkraut and pork for our New Year's meal. It's supposed to bring prosperity in the coming 12 months.  Kit and I were discussing it at dinner. Her brother, who now lives in Florida, said none of his retired neighbors had ever heard of it. Is this only a western Pennsylvania tradition, or possibly an old German rite?  What other things do you folks do for New Years?

The one and only New Years tradition I have came to an end this year. For several years a good buddy of mine from Georgia would fly out and stay with me over the holidays and we would start the new year by surfing every morning on new years day. A few years back he calls me to tell me he’s in route to the Appalachian Mountains to elope with his new sweet heart. I wished him well and thought I might not see that boy again. Well, several years and a couple kids later he’s never made that trip back out and understandably so. Per his request I kept the tradition alive by myself every new years. As I got more and more in to both fresh water and salt water fishing the desire to constantly surf dwindled. He spent this new years with his family and I spent mine curled up on the couch with my old lady. That surf session never came and I feel a little bit of closure from its absence. Time to create a new tradition. Perhaps a new years day fishing  session…

Stitch my parents did the same thing, pork & sauerkraut on new years. Both parents grew up in Ohio but my dad was born in Sommerset, PA. My dads side of the family were German heritage.
