found a silver coin it is sort of on your mantle "really need to use the imagination on this one" hope it brings good luck for the coming year 2013
Love the idea! Wonder how old that tradition is?????
not really sure when it started, back in the day when people would go from house to house, the host or hostess would extend a drink from their bottle and the person accepting would extend the same to them, the first foot after the bells at midnight should be a dark headed male, when entering he puts the silver coin on the mantle, a piece of coal in the fireplace and then toasts the host and hostess, the coin is for wealth, the coal for warmth and the toast is for good health all through the year.

p23 Attitude and willingness to try things, or dare to be different, influences whether one enjoys the seasons or just "gets through". Like your ideas. Life is so full of opportunities I think I would like several life times!
