This happy holiday is full of festivities that are ancient myths for saying
"Goodbye" to last year and "Hello" to the brand new year.
Several beliefs have been passed down throughout the centuries and
are still practiced in some ancient form today. Some will eat a specific
food, like black-eyed peas, to attract more money in the coming year.
Others believe they can ward off bad luck by cleaning their house from
top to bottom on New Year's Eve. Fireworks and noisemakers for New
Year's Eve festivities at the stroke of midnight, are ancient beliefs that
the noise will chase away all the evil spirits from last year.
The mythical traditions of Father Time and the New Year Baby persist
from the ancient Greeks, perhaps from as far back as 600 BC. During
the coming year, the baby grows up and becomes Father Time at
midnight on December 31st.
We at HI will have a New Year ahead of us full of new creations by our
Kamis and the business growth that we all anticipate. You are all a very
important part of that growth that sustains HI in both good and bad times.
Happy New Year to all of you!
