I started a New Year tradition with my daughter when she was 8 years old. I permitted her to have a pyjama party on New Year's Eve and I had a craft table set up to make little booklets with fancy ribbons and glitter on the cardboard covers. The booklet consisted of 10 envelopes with every following year written on the outside. Each year since, the group of girlfriends write their New Year's Resolutions and wishes for that upcoming year.
When they reach 18 they will have another pyjama party where they will open the envelopes and share their contents with one another.
In two years from now I will share the humour of that moment with you.
Yes, who knows if there will be any crumbs of toast in those envelopes.
Here's to tradition and the Joy of Children in our lives!
