I would like to take a minute to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.  

If you should chance upon a pomegranate  throw it down on the ground.  If it smashes it means the household will have prosperity and fertility, as much as the seeds that come tumbling out of the fruit. We greeks love our traditions!

As the years go by we need to think about our Health above all else!  I know that I have found my health with this blog.  It may not be a health blog but I have found my creative outlet  here which gives me a healthy frame of mind.  

​And so my wish for all of you this year is to pursue what you love and to have health and happiness for the New Year.

May we all have a blessed 2017!

    1. Thank you so much Uwe. I too wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy New Year, so we can do lots of projects.

    1. Marie, Happy New Year! We have pomegranate trees at the farm so I take them for granted. Haha. I don’t even eat them I just use them for decoration.

  6. That’s an interesting tradition about the pomegranate, which I love to eat by the way.
    A very happy new year to you too, Mary!!

    1. Florence you should visit me in Greece sometime. I have more pomegranates than I know what to do with.

    1. Thank you so much Christina/ I too wish you a wonderful year and the welcome of your grand-baby!

  9. Happy 2017 Dear Mary!! I wish you all the same and a wonderful year ahead filled with everything you dream of and of course health above all!!

    1. Michelle thank you so much for that sweet greeting. I honestly would not know in what language to reply for you. You told me they speak 12 languages in your area.
      Happy New Year to us all my dear fiend!

  12. Happy New Year, Mary to you and yours! All the very best for 2017! Hope that pomegranate smashed into a million pieces! In our Vasilopita this year, I was lucky enough to have found the hidden coin!

    1. Congratulations Poppy on finding the coin. It is such a fun tradition we always get worked up over it. This year it was the Panagia’s turn to get the coin. Happy New Year!

  13. Happy New Year Mary! I hope you and your family have a healthy and prosperous new year. Here in Texas I grew up believing that eating blackeyed peas on New Years day will make our year a prosperous one. The only time of the year I eat them because I don’t care for them. LOL

    1. Linda I love black eyed peas. And I eat them all year long. Now isn’t that funny because I don’t care for pomegranates. I only use them for decor. Happy New Year.

    1. Claire that is such an interesting combination. I cannot imagine the two together. I’ll have to give it a try. Happy New Year!!

    1. Maria I feel the same way. I am so grateful for our special group and for the blogging community that has given us so much. Happy New Year!!

    1. Shirley this country is full of traditions and special ways of doing everything. I think I’d need to write a book to tell them all.
      Happy New Year!

    I had never heard of that tradition with the pomegranate before. This afternoon I was up at my parents house with my camera hoping to get a nice shot of some pomegranate on there tree, but I am a tad too late as there tree is empty…. Next year we will have to give the tradition a go.
