Listen "It's Just Another New Year"
Episode Synopsis
As 2021 and Season 4 of the podcast draw to a close, GamerDude talks about that week between Christmas and New Years, when no one really wants to be working, and where nothing ever really seems to get done. He also talks about the post-Christmas shopping he did with his dad after Christmas, and remembers game night on New Year's Eve with his mom.
GamerDude also talks about some of the superstitions involving food to eat as the New Year begins. He talks about green peas, lentil and pork as the "good luck" meals, and why crab, lobster, chicken and turkey are bad luck. He also talks about the 12 Lucky Grapes of the new year.
Finally, GamerDude shares some observations about the New Year from the early 1800s, from a Scottish traveler's observations about what New Year's Day in New York was like back in 1830, to some timeless words of wisdom to carry into the New Year.
