Tuesday 4 Meme- The End of the Year

 

The End of the Year

 Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 in the new year.  We wish you a very

 Happy New Year! 

1, 1892 Ellis Island opened it's doors.  Did any of your relations enter the United States through Ellis Island?  If not, do you know your family's history?  I never really learned much.

2. Januray's birth stone is garnet and the flower is the carnation.  Do you have favorite gem stones or flowers?  My birth stone is sapphire, so it has always been my favorite.  I love all kinds of flowers.  I enjoy carnations a lot in my house because they live a long time.

3. January 6 is Epiphany. Many take that day as the final day of the Christmas celebration

and take down their decor.   What about you?  We take our Christmas decorations down 

January 1st.  Then I have time to clean house before going back to work/school.

4. There is some scientific  evidence that January can set the tone for your entire year. 

What do you think of this? Do you make resolutions, etc? Do you pick a word of the year 

or have any traditions like that? 

I have not found that to be true and I do not make resolutions...I did once and it was

hard for me to stick to.  I have done word of the year a couple of times.
