As 2011 comes to an end our editors share their New Year’s traditions,
superstitions and resolutions:
Its a Greek tradition that finding the hidden coin inside the vasilopita
brings good luck and happiness in the coming year. Serano
Bakery in Greektown bakes dozens and dozens of the sweet bread. The
best part is watching everyone dig through it in the hopes of finding
the silver. From $8, Serano Bakery, 830 Pape Ave., Toronto,

There is an old superstition that says luck, love and prosperity will
come to those who dance in the open air on New Years Day. A group of
friends and I plan on performing a jubilant jig on January 1st in the
field across from my apartment. Im going to keep it up and dance through
2012 when the mood strikes especially when no one is watching. Jaelyn
Molyneux, Calgary editor
Since this is my last post as the Montreal Editor, Id just like to take
the opportunity to thank you all for reading and wish you a very happy
New Year! Keep exploring Montreal and enjoying all this great city has
to offer! Jennifer Nachshen, Montreal editor
This blog post, Top
Five Regrets of the Dying, really moved me recently. The top regrets
included not letting oneself be happier, and not spending enough time
with their kids. No one wished they had made more money, or had been
more successful. As a result, my New Years resolution is not to do ANY
more work on Sundays. Alexandra Suhner Isenberg, Vancouver fashion editor
Thirty cookbooks and counting, and I only cook, um, maybe once a month.
Thats not counting quick lunches, but still embarrassing. My resolution
is to prepare one delicious dinner a week, with a little help from my
friends Ferran, Thomas, Heston, Tony, Eric, David, Jamie, Julia, Vikram.

Every year, I set goals, write them down and post them above my desk so
they can literally hang over my head all year long. Top of my list for
2012? Go whale-watching. Kelsey Dundon, Vancouver lifestyle editor
My grandparents used to take care of us kids when my parents when out on
the town to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Every year right before midnight
my grandfather would open the back door to "let the old year out" and
then open the front door to "let the new year in". For old time’s sake
and as a little ode to my amazing grandfather I still do this every
year. Kelsey Mulyk, Managing editor
