I hope everyone has a good time seeing the New Year in, and that 2015 is a better year for you than 2014.

Happy New Year everyone :D

Out of curiosity, (as I know only of my family and one other person's family I've met in my whole lifetime D: ) does anyone else have 'Father Time' ?

It's kind of like Father Christmas - but we've always got a couple of extra presents - from 'Father Time' - just after midnight on New Year's Eve/Day :)

I've heard of the concept of that particular "Father Time", like an old proverbial sort of thing, but we've never done gifts or anything like that on New Year's.

Not heard of that, perhaps it's a local thing with your family roots?

Well, I thought it could be a local thing, but no one (other than one other girl I went to school with) had heard of it, or done it :/

I've heard of other countries in Europe giving gifts an NYE ( I don't remember whereabouts) but putting them in shoes.

My gf says they (Polish) put gifts in shoes on Christmas Eve as opposed to stockings.
