Closing out the year and welcoming the new one can be an important ritual.

Whether you have long-standing traditions, or are looking for new ideas,  here are 2 sites to get you started, and make you laugh:

• The Almanac (formerly known as the Farmer's Almanac) has a good list of traditions, food, gifts and folklore.  Be prepared for ads all over this site that will distract your reading

• Paperless Post doesn't have any ads, they're only selling you their own product.  The tradition from Canada (#16), is to "Go Ice Fishing : Nothing says a new start like a trip to a freezing lake—followed by roasting delicious, fresh-caught fish. Find the coldest body of water you can (safely) access and say goodbye to last year like the Canadians do."  I am reasonably confident that AI wrote the post; it's still a beautiful read, with a few giggles thrown in.
