I do like watching the new years fireworks from other countries even if I am not trying to fool the kids into going to bed. In the authors notes section they mention a tradition of eating twelve grapes which I never heard of before.
I have Spanish friends who eat 12 grapes, but I don’t know if it’s a Spanish thing or a regional thing
I have Spanish friends and Portuguese friends. Some of them eat 12 grapes, some eat 12 raisins. I can never remember which is which
Never in my life have I ever had a more excessive New Year’s than the one my wife and I celebrated in Las Vegas. West Coast new years is indeed the best new years.
God I hate new years. There’s absolutely nothing special about it. Now I’m forced to go see family and hang out till past midnight and I can’t deal with it
Don’t?
Christmas is for family, NY is for friends
family??? new years is the party holiday. I have this thing were I want the date for xmass to be something more like the orthodox. basically a month forward in january. Because in the us we have a family holiday late november so I would like to have the new years party holiday seperating it from xmass and january is way more yuck so could use the cheer. Then after xmass you have the funner new years celebration with chinese new year and saint pats aint far behind.
Our tradition is to forget, hear fireworks, be annoyed at those, then remember I need to drain the beans and start the slow cooker to make hoppin john for the first meal of the new year.
Is she in a costume in the last panel? Where can I find all these comics?
just click on the link and shorten it to the domain. the last character is her devil side. she has an angel/devil on the shoulder thing going in the comic and it has expanded to inner child and caveman inner thoughts.
and Martinelli’s is such a tradition!
I was going to ask how you knew they had martinellis and then looked back and yeah its right in your face in the first panel. They should pay her.
What’s with the thing with British putting the kids to bed at unreasonably early time?
british??? the comics family lives in portland.
To me that looks like a British tradition. Does Portland culture relate to British somehow? Then yes, same thing.
I think its just a parent thing.
Yeah parents who speak native English thing - thus British
