I can't stay away from it, it's a tradition and I teach my children the same thing.

This is our tradition and we can't burry it. We will take it to the grave with us. Soup Joumou, cremass and gateau are our menu for new year and my family call january 2nd (jou ate' garni) From the province were I came from, they cook a lot and put all the food in the kitchen 's little table, some on the floor and cal us one by one to pick up your plate I always look for the one which have the turkey leg, hum hum my favor.

In Haiti we had soup early morning around ten O'clock then go visiting people.

The first one was Daurismond who always had brand new dollars and gourdes passing to each kid who come as "Jour de l'an"

When I was in NY, my late sister Lili always made soup.
