A lump of coal and some whiskey

I found out from a friend that in Scotland you go to your next door neighbor and give then a lump of coal and a bottle of whiskey every new year. And every other neighbor does the same through out the night. It was interesting to hear what other cultures do during the Holidays. I just thought that was pretty cool that you get a bottle of whiskey every new year. :-p

Anyways.. I would like to wish you all a Happy *belated* New Year and hope you all have many blessings this coming year! One of my New Year Resolutions was to stay and keep my little humble blog alive for as long as possible. So, hopefully Our Kind of Town will be here for another year or so. Haha, and maybe next year we can start going to our neighbors with a lump of coal and some whiskey.. or Sparkling Apple Cider, all the same.

God Bless,
