My parents started a good tradition a number of years ago after my father started his present job as president of one of the Cambridge colleges - they usually have an "open house" and invite any college members who are around on New Year's Day to have lunch with us. The fact that my parents are leaving for India tomorrow did not stop them from transferring this traditional New Year's Day lunch to yesterday - since they will be unable to have it tomorrow.
Do you have any family traditions for New Year's Day?

No. Usually movies and good food.
Tomorrow we are going to have a nice ham and scalloped potatoes. I think we are going to break open our Christmas movies and see how far we get.
Enjoy. I wish I lived in Cambridge! That sounded wonderful.

Nope, just being pissed off because the shops aren't open, and you can bet it'll be the one day I REALLY REALLY want to go shopping! LOL

Hello World. That is a wonderful Tradition. We do that at Christmas. We invite others that have no where to go. Then we just eat and give thanks for all our blessings. Then we open a few gifts. I think your idea is a great one. New years we don't really do much. Except we do give thanks to the Lord for all our blessings. and then here comes the football game. God Bless and you have a very Happy New year.

I think the only tradition we have is not to do any washing on New Years Day, if we do we are meant to wash our friends away, so I try never to do any washing on New Years Day, (by washing I mean laundry).
