Oh yum yum yum, I LOVE those little cabbages! Mmmm!

New Year's Day was never a big deal in my family. My Mom and Dad always stayed up until midnight and watched the ball come down in Time Square. They always kissed at 11:59 and then at 12, so it would be the last thing they did that year, and the first thing they did the next. But we rarely had a big dinner or anything. My dad worked swing shifts, so lots of times he worked that day anyway.

My former inlaws always had a big feed (man, I miss her dinner rolls) but it was just another day to me. Maybe we'll start a new tradition this year and do something special. Pancakes?
