• Feeling slowed down

New years traditions around the world/ 24 Care Elderly Home

New Years traditions prevail around the world. 

There is an Irish tradition of predicting the political future of the country by checking which way the wind blows at midnight on New Year’s Eve. If the wind is from the west, there is a chance that good fortune will reign that year. If the wind is from the east, however, the British will prevail. 

Mistletoe was handed out to ward off bad luck, and single women put a sprig of mistletoe under their pillows in hopes of catching a dream about their future husbands. Another tradition peculiar to Ireland is pounding on the doors and windows of the house with bread. This practice was to chase out evil spirits and ensure bread for the upcoming year.

A-1 Home Care is a non medical home health agency dedicated to helping seniors live independent and healthy lives.
