Dear Readers,

The past couple of posts have focused on various New Year‘s traditions; and I have one more to share with you – the New Year’s toast.  On this occasion, my husband and I are thrilled with a glass of perfectly chilled champagne.  There have been times when we have been just as content with a glass of sparkling apple cider.

If you are thinking of champagne, and need some ideas, I hope this post will come in handy.  I have also included a few food suggestions for your consideration.  Whatever you decide, remember there is only one rule – please have fun.  So here’s my toast to you my friends.

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship,
but never in want.
Traditional Irish Toast

With Peace & Blessings,
Monique
