Using the beginning letter, the guest can make a New Year's Resolution statement for each letter, by creating a sentence using each beginning letter for each resolution. By the way, she often would do the same for Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas at other holiday events that my mother has hosted over the years. A mother's tradition of New Year's Resolutions and Holiday cheer... one of the many Tucker family traditions celebrated over the years.
Over the years, I have walked away with the believe that Making New Year's Resolutions is healthy, whether one is either formal or informal about it. I hope you appreciated today's reflection. Most importantly, Happy New Year...
