Well, it’s (almost) a new year, and time for a new Canadope thread. I’m not planning to get up any time tomorrow morning, so I thought I’d start this up tonight. The reason for the name - we’re having a Battlestar Galactica marathon tonight and tomorrow. 🙂 Happy New Year, everybody! I hope everyone had a good 2014, and I hope your 2015 is even better. ---

Happy New Year - home in The Peg (thanks for the cold snap. Brings a frozen tear to my eye) until the 2nd. 🙂 ---

Happy New Year to all from the big T.O. Just came back from a kid-oriented party with kid-midnight at 9:45. I am ready to fall asleep, my 6 year old still wants to party… man am I getting old! ---

And a happy new year from beautiful Prince Edward County, where a perfectly seasonable -10 feels like misery after a very mild December. The ice only beginning to form up on the lake and the bays is really cramping the ice fishermen’s style. ---

Absolutely beautiful night here. Someone set off fireworks up the road, so we went for a walk to take a look. Apparently more will be going off at midnight, those were just a test. Maybe we will walk up the road again to see in a couple hours, if we are awake then. ---

Happy New Year folks. I have the greatest neighbours. Last night we congregated around a bonfire, drank, laughed and set off fireworks. I’m paying for it today, but I just got up and re-stoked the wood stove. And now, a glass of water and a wee nap. ETA: And by neighbours, I mean the whole neighbourhood. There were like 30 or 40 of us at the fire last night. ---

New Year’s greetings from Haus das Glasperlen! Both of whom have the flu and don’t feellike celebrating anything except the possibility of our mutual demise. :(. It can only get better from here, right? And yes, we both got the flu shot. ---

Happy New Year, everyone! Bonne Année, tout le monde! Light dusting of snow overnight, and a lovely winter’s day. Clan Piper just had pancakes, sausage and apples for brunch, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. Don’t plan on going out at all today. Traditional tourtière for supper tonight, and i’ll also be making an English chocolate pudding. First try boiling/steaming a pudding, but Jamie Oliver assures me it’s easy. Hope this year goes well for us all! ---

Bonfire at the hill, skied until 11, greeted new year in a hot tub looking up at a beautiful night sky. Starting the new year today with more skiing. A good way to begin the year. ---

As I suspected, we weren’t up till just about noon today; just finished our extremely rare breakfast of pancakes and bacon. {urp} I have no idea what New Year’s Day supper will be - after that breakfast, it should be plain lettuce, I suspect. 🙂 Feel better, **Der Glasperlenspiel**. Flus suck. ☹ ---

Tourtière is in the oven! On to the English pudding! (New Year’s this year chez Pipers celebrates the Two Solitudes, culinary fashion.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/canadope-2015-battlestar-canadica/708655.md?page=2)
