Steady On

Every year I make a few New Years Eve Resolutions and every year I can pick them off and this is how I do it:

I never promise to lose weight or to excercie more or to ‘eat healthy’.

I only resolve to do things that I think will make my world- the one that other people visit- a happier place to be.

So I always promise to write more or read more or to get out more and to learn something new- like cooking  new dish or making it my goal to talk to people at the dog park instead of just sitting on the bench with my head down.

I know that we want to make grand gestures to go into the New Year with, but I prefer to meet the New Year calm, cool and unruffled- no matter what I face.

RDP Wednesday: Yield

 

If, on a dark night in Japan, you see a parade of strange beings singing and dancing, don’t be tempted to join in. It’s most likely hyakki yagyo, the night parade of 100 demons, and as tempting as it might be, you really don’t want to be part of it.

However, if they are singing these offerings from the 2025 Eurovision song contest you might want to reconsider and hop right in.

These were my two favorites from the contest:

When is Krampus Night?

Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, traditionally takes place on December 5th, the night before the feast of Saint Nicholas. During this night, people dress up as Krampus and roam the streets, participating in parades and festivities that celebrate the dual nature of the holiday season

I won’t be roaming the streets dressed as Krampus on the 5th –  I’ll probably be putting up my tree.

It would be fun to attend a Krampus Night Festival, but I always manage to miss it! Well. There’s always next year, right?

Here’s a new report about Krampus Night here in Washington state.
