How was everyone's New Year? I hope everyone had a nice time. :D

Mine was quiet. My aunt and cousin didn't come over this year becuase my aunt was sick with the flu... :'( Maybe I'll see them for Easter.

I baked a cake. A special cake for New Year's. My mom always called it "Santa Claus Pie" but it's really "Vasilopita" or "Basil Pie" after the ( Read more... )

That cake looks AWESOME despite it being covered in 20011 almonds :D I'm gonna snag some of your music tonight when I get home! Thank you so much for sharing!

You could pick the almonds off. There weren't any inside. I remember the nightmare of a previous cake which had almond slivers inside. Never again.

Your welcome! I likes sharing. :D

20011, LOL! XDDD There was something that got me confused about the cake XD It looks really delicious though!
And the whole coin tradition is very cute! I'm really tempted to try it for next year. As far as I know, we don't have any particular tradition for New Years :/

hgkjfgjfhvfd the CD! <3333 I bet your New Year's Eve was pretty happy XD
And thank you so much for sharing it with us! <333

I just hope the good luck will work this year otherwise we'll have to wait for 20011 and I don't think we'll be around anymore to enjoy it. XD

The coin thing is fun! :D I think there are a few other countries besides Greece who do it too but I'm not sure which ones.

One of my co-workers is from Spain and she says that in her family you pack up a suitcase and run around the neighborhood and whatever you packed will be where you travel that year. For example if you packed swimsuits you'll end up going to the beach, if you packed a coat somewhere cold and so on. She said last time she packed nothing and right now she's in England, lol!

I just think holiday traditions are interesting. New Year's in particular since just about the entire world celebrates it. Apparently the US really likes to drop things. XD

My New Year's Eve was one of the better ones in recent memory. The CD just made it so much more awesome. I can't wait for the whole thing to arrive! The wait is killing me!
