Happy New Year

in #newyear7 years ago (edited)

Wishing you all the best.

As we are getting ready to say goodbye to 2019, I thought I'd let you have a look at our Vasilopita, which is a traditional dessert. There's a lucky coin inside this cake, and legend has it that the one who finds the coin in their piece of the cake is getting 365 days full of luck. I was the lucky guy last year, and it was a great year for me indeed. Let's see what happens this year.

I'm more than happy with everything I accomplished in 2019, and grateful for every person I met and talked to. Life has been a sweet, crazy ride for me so far, and I hope the new year is going to be another awesome year. I sincerely wish you all the best, hope the coming new year brings you all the gifts of love and joy.

Have a peak at our homemade lucky cake:

What are your plans for tonight?

I'm actually a house cat, and totally prefer to spend these days at home with family and friends. This way I can eat and drink as much as I want to, plus I don't have to waste my precious time in traffic jams or looking for a parking spot. I really don't get it how most people prefer to go through all this on a new year's day.

Plus the weather is cold, so there's nothing in the world that could make me abandon my fireplace. Oh home, sweet home.

Whatever you do tonight, have a wonderful time!

May this new year be a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Whatever it is you want to achieve in life, just aim and go for it.

Have a great one, people!
Cheers!

This torte looks great :D. I have already found the "Vasilopita" recipe, I would like to bake that too, but without a lucky coin. You can also have bad luck if you swallow the lucky coin? Never mind, I am a security apostle :)
These are "kourabiedes", right? I think it's something like "Vanillekipferl" :).
Very nicely decorated, your Christmas tree, I like him very much . Mine is very beautiful, too. Would you like to have a look at him?
I also wish you a Happy New Year :D

Ja, lassen Sie mich Ihnen Weihnacthsbaum sehen bitte. ;D Diese sind Vanillekipferl, und ich bevorzuge Linzer Torte vor Vasilopita...! Danke für die guten Wünsche! Frohes neues Jahr!

Γεια σας lordneroo, έγραψα μια θέση "Χριστούγεννα 2019". Αλλά δεν μπορείτε να δείτε το χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο πολύ καλά. Αύριο θα σας στείλω μια φωτογραφία όταν είναι φως :)
Did the Google translator do it well?
Hello lordneroo, I wrote a post "Christmas 2019". But you can't see the Christmas tree very well. Tomorrow I'll send you a photo when it's light :)

Lol, google translator messed it all up, but I was expecting that. I mean, I can understand what you were saying, but the sentences are not properly constructed. Hope my German wasn't that bad xD

Thank you, lordneroo. Oh dear :). But maybe it's funny, should I always translate with google translator now? 😂. It's healthy to laugh or puzzle.
Your German was first class, did you do it with a translator or do you know German so well?
I've often seen the Greek language and writing before and I've translated often, but before that it was totally foreign. I think that the Greek writing and language is very difficult.

Thanks, that's great to hear. I've studied German, but I haven't been practicing my skills the past few years.

Greek is probably hard to learn, but I think the same goes for German as well. All those nouns and articles.. ;)

:), I believe that almost every human being does himself most easily with the language he has learned from childhood. What do you think?

Ζήτω ο διαβήτης!

Χαχαχαχαχ ζήτω!

Happy new year to you as well :)

Happy new year!

Hey man, happy new year to you and your family!

I've just spent the first day of 2020 at the beach in 30 degree weather...A pretty good start!

Damn, that's awesome, I'm sure you've had a great day so far.

Thanks for dropping by!

It was a nice way to say hello to 2020...Let's hope every day ahead is as good as today...Even the bad ones. :)

Let's make 2020 our best year yet! ;) I avoid setting New Year's resolutions, but this one works for me.

New years resolutions are nothing but ineffective ramblings of unfocussed minds. Better to set some real goals, and plans to achieve them, with a reason, a WHY they are important to achieve...But then, that's just me. We all do it differently.
