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!
