Welcome
to the latest issue of the TV Acres Newsletter.
So, this is 2002.
And how did you celebrate the New Year? For
example, people in Moslem societies
celebrate the new year by wearing new clothes.
Southeast Asians release birds and turtles to
assure themselves good luck in the twelve months
ahead. Jewish people consider the day holy,
and hold a religious ceremony at a meal with
special foods. Hindus of India leave shrines next
to their beds, so they can see beautiful objects
at the start of the new year. Japanese prepare
rice cakes at a social event the week before the
new year (Shogatsu). And, as for me, I
celebrate by watching Dick Clark and others bring in the New Year with rock and roll
music while visions of Super Bowl players dance
in my head.
But whatever our
custom, let's wish each other good luck and
promise ourselves to do better in the following
year. At the very least, watch more TV. It's
good for ya!
