Happy New Year! Wheel in the sky keeps on turning...

[seanan_mcguire]

Officially, for the current dominant culture of the country where I live, the new year begins on January 1st. I don't really remember when I started celebrating the new year on November 1st, as dictated by the Wiccan calendar; it's just the time that feels right to me. Harvest is ending. We're sliding into the long winter, time for contemplation

A question, if I may: if you were to ever move to the southern hemisphere, would your personal calender flip to match the seasons?
Either way, may your new year be filled with cats and candy!

[seanan_mcguire]

It would not, but I would spend a lot of time in corn mazes regardless.

Hoopy New Ear! For me it's the time of year when we're finally back on sun-time and the temperatures are looking to get down to something reasonable (and when the trees are looking really pretty in thousands of different coloured leaves which haven't all dropped yet).

I alliteratively wish you Cats, Candy Corn, Cheese, and Cake!

Yay!

Happy New Year!
Thanks for the Journey earworm from your journal title, too.

And irrelevant to everything but a desire to share, I'm trying to figure out how to turn your "How Much Salt" into a sing-along type of song for tonight's Chantey Sing. Admittedly, I may chicken out because of the octave drop in the refrain/chorus portion. I don't want to break anyone's neck. But as of now, I'm still trying. Maybe a modified fifth?

Honestly, I had trouble with that drop too. My best advice: go for it with all your might!

[reedrover]

You did? But... your performance in that song is what caused me to go out and buy Thirteen. ( ref) My mind boggles.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hee! Yay, thank you! :) Sometimes Seanan plans things on purpose to showcase her friends. She is sneaky.

But yeah, I had to work on that one a bit. :)

Happy New Year to you; it's New Year's Day over here too!

(BTW, I made you a LOL based on my zombie slumber party Halloween costume-I did hollow eyes in dark green and my fake blood got on my gray and white face powder so the blood didn't show so much, not perfect but anyway, sparkly zombie lol. Hope it makes you smile:))
