Traditions

On a small street in Schenectady NY this afternoon a group of friends and neighbors will gather for my parents annual New Years Day Party.  There will be the drinking of Irish Coffee, mmm..  Musicians  playing a wide variety of instruments and songs, mostly folk  and fiddle tunes and great conversations and the chance to catch up with old friends. It was always a great day in the house and full of characters who will never be forgotten. Even though I can't always make it to the party the memories make this one of my favorite days of the year. I will drink a toast to all of those at the McElligott's New Years Day party this year. I know you are going to have a great time!
