Wow I can not believe how fast time is flying already near the end of January in 2012!! Happy New year, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year's I know that my family and I were super busy but it was all lovely. Including my sister's wedding on New Year's Eve and now she is married and has moved to Tassie, which is great but I miss her already.
New year's always make you think of starting afresh, a new start in my sister's case a new life and I am always hoping for something special in the new year to happen. Have you made any new year's resolutions?? I am not a very good resolutions setter or even goal setter (which is practically what they are right?) but I did write some down so here's to actually doing some of them this year haha!
So ok, I'll share a couple with you hmm.....
- Take dance lessons
- Make time to develop friendships
- Build my singing career
- As a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant build my customer base and move to Directorship
- Exercise regularly
So a new year also means a year older and for my brother, he turned a significant year older, 18 on the 12th of Jan. So as a tradition with us we had a family party on his actual birthday and then he had a party on the next night. Which was a great night and they all had fun and liked the cake I had made him. Now, our family is a singing family as you may have gathered if you've read before and so we have our own set of birthday songs there is 3 main ones and some silly others and what we like to do is sing in up to 6 part harmony and people who hear this are usually quite taken back. We dont like to sing out of tune (as is often done at parties) but think it is more fun to do interesting arrangments.
The songs are Happy Birthday, For he's a Jolly Good Fellow (or she!), Why was he/she born so beautiful and then of course we like to clap the years as well. Ok so it can be a bit embarrassing at times but usually its very well recieved. We have even been invited to birthdays entirely so that we would sing, at resturants if we have sung others have asked us to sing to them and even at my brothers family party this year my new brother-in-law recorded us so he can play it when he goes to others!
So question, do you have birthday songs or traditions??
I like them it makes it special.
Good luck with the resolutions :)
