It's traditional to burn a bayberry candle on New Year's Eve. You're supposed to burn it down to the nub, and peace, prosperity and happiness will follow for the coming year.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, everyone! Our evening started out as a quiet night at home, with my parents who are still visiting. Some friends called around 9:00 and we ended up having an impromptu party at our house. After all the cooking at Christmas, we decided to take the easy route for New Year's and just ordered in pizza. I did make some chocolate chip turtle cookie bars, though...yummy!

Happy New Year. I have not heard of burning a bayberry candle down to the nub. Where does that originate? Last year I learned that you should eat black eye peas for New Years and I never knew that either.

That burning of the bayberry candle is news to me... will a bayberry air freshener work?
