Would like to.

[thousandlakes]

Great! You melt the snow and I'll take care of the vodka!

[hnnm]

Don't drink it all.

[thousandlakes]

Oh don't worry, you'll get some. I have a lot.

[ingenflodhest]

What is New Year's Eve magic? Do we get wishes?

[thousandlakes]

Oh! I'll explain!

[thousandlakes]

Everybody gets a little tin horseshoe, which I've got lots of, so anyone who wants to play can just come over! We let some snow melt into cold water, then we melt the tin and pour it into the water, quick as you can!

[thousandlakes]

Then you fish out the lump of metal from the bucket, and whatever shape it makes tells the future of your new year!

[mrspond]

That is a lot of horseshoes.

[thousandlakes]

I wanted there to be enough for everyone to try a few times if they don't like their first result.

[mrspond]

That's thoughtful!

...what are we supposed to do, exactly?

[thousandlakes]

Well everyone picks a horseshoe and we melt it over the stove, then pour it very quickly into the bucket of cold water, and the shape of it when it cools predicts your coming year!
