and i feel like this is deja vu because to feel like like we we literally haven't moved for the last show we put these on and here we sit ready for the next yeah so that's all right right because i can sit here tell me some cool stuff oh you're going to like this will now because the next time when this airs that will be towards the end of december so what's the first holiday that comes after christmas are countries that i haven't talked about yet from the last time denmark ok ready what they do in denmark in denmark they all they save all of their dishes and plates until the thirty first of december when they affectionately shatter them across the doors of all their friends and family and i don't know if you're going be able to see these i didn't want to layer oh my gosh you know it's hilarious right here i don't know say this player here do you have that pattern yeah everybody does my brother called the standard issue i feel like every family that couple got married in the late seventy's early eighty's had like brian todd that my brother always called it standard issue grandma don't throw it well now they call it in better homes and garden they call that like mid century classic or something like all her pillows plates and better homes and gardens magazine ok good century well then i don't expect that you're going to shatter them against your friends and family and are you going to come over and throw plates my front door i wasn't planning on it but now ok well there's other ideas ok echoed the funny though ecuador it is violent it looks like it scare a crow burning in ecuador they celebrate the new year by burning paper filled scare crows at midnight so they make scarecrows out of paper they burn them they also burn cash ok they believe that everything should be round so as to represent coins and bring wealth round so to bring wealth and everything that they do is round food not this one i didn't quite get  month no no i'm sure that one last but this one is hysterical i think it's like oh my gosh who thought of this one and not only that this would be something that you'd want to do in the privacy of your own home but you know us this is south america colored underwear oh ok well wait i'll show you the picture just so you don't miss in some south american countries wearing colored underwear will determine your fate for the new year so what color should ok good luck there's a go and well yeah gold means wealth ok and white signifies peace so they she even showed better go out and buy some gold underwear you know doesn't look like they spray painted them or some look up right you could just even see how bright they are yeah so you can spray paint where whatever lucky color you want to be you know depending on what it is you want in the new year so that's what they do in south america the last one we're going to talk about other than what you're going to say something about the what we do in the u s this is what we're going to do when we tape our new year's book but is that ok because i want to see if we can do this without choking ok in spain  in spain the new year's tradition for good luck revolves around great ready someone talked about this last go ahead continue this for me if you can manage to stuff twelve grapes in your mouth ed midnight you know not one time in your mouth said midnight if you can manage to stuff twelve grapes in your mouth at midnight all at one time you've achieved good luck for the next year ok well when i met so i think you talked about this last year this twelve great thing either you did or somehow this came into my mind because i don't remember it but go ahead but i don't remember what i had for dinner lessons i did tell me about this last year the do it i host new years eve every year i have for a long time and i counted a dozen grapes per g my fear is because we laugh on here so much so randomly that we would like stuff far in lack of outrage when you decide to make me eat on t v after the watermelon this past summer i did apologize about that i never did say i go get a taste of my mouth every now and then all right that was yeah so this is our lot is already on this new year's one that we have from it is it's really basic nice early reader but there's some funny pictures in here i look to see when the book was made because the photographs  eighty's ninety's but the book's not it's not older than the books like from the early two thousand but as you know that new year's day is one of the oldest holidays it was first celebrated by people who live thousands of years ago they celebrate a new planting season and this dude looks like he's having fun planting oh wow but there are footprints and then people like to stay up they actually start celebrating on new year's eve sometimes no no no i've never heard of that today people start celebrating on the night before new year's day this night the call before is called new year's eve or is the night before that because you don't have to work under your seat before do yours right so while that's a lot but i like the series we have a lot of books from this particular like if you look on the back we have it all have all these we have ones like the same style same relevel like about the previous president right and famous people and things so these are really great nonfiction beginner readers so a sherry that hanukkah starts on the twelfth of december this year again this year so i wanted to mention that and we did get new books and she brought in some really nice things for our display would nice to hanukkah display and  it's adorable books and i wanted to mention it on the last show too but it's never too late for a holiday book no matter what holiday it is true right absolutely ok very that now we know  order moving on to our traditions i mentioned at last i'm going to mention again real quickly our all michelle for addition every day the month of december to listen to you can come into our library and find our elf on the shelf and she is a reader so every day she's reading a different book write down the book that twenty fifth of november and p b s is going to be able to air that either they already have or quickly after they aired it regardless we have a screener of it so if you haven't had a chance to see it or if it hasn't aired on t v yet or you don't have h b o or whatever we have our own special copy of it at the library would not circulate because it's just a screen or but because of our collect our connection with q e d we're able to do that so on thursday december fourteenth we're going to show the brand new once upon a sesame street christmas and i brought with me our library big bird there he go meant the amazing part about big bird here this but it sounds just like them both that he was donated to us right years ago and we had him on the show before we had a lot of yeah it's been a while you while the come down we come back because he has something in his back in his that's right people today might not know what this is this is called a cassette tape so talking to the old lady there is copyright one thousand nine hundred six which my copyright date is after nine hundred eighty six so this this particular toy is older than i am and funny story about big bird two quick funny stories actually he was going to talk while we were talking so i had him in my trunk sorry babe earlier my trunk to come today and i'm riding over here course i'm listening to the new taylor swift cd which is available at the library or not is not available on a free goal she's not available on frugal but if you like to get a lot of really good free music especially at the grammys coming up you can get them on our free will but you can check out the taylor  see how that is so i was listening to that and this is a very different album for her there's some rap and things involved and i start hearing this weird noise and i'm like for that part of the song i listen the album many times trunk so i didn't realize he was turned on i don't actually know how to turn him on and off and he got on the way over here and he just started singing along and like mad in it was kind of creepy like i'm like that's  anything about it because he was all he was in my trunk and i was driving that's so could you imagine like if you were driving here and you got pulled over for like running a stop sign or something and referred over his phone in the the kind peter's tantra police officer is talking to you through your window and you've got something talking out of your trunk it was well let me put it this way i'll fill you out pizza ok so if i blame it on this mission and were you going with that big bird because and thanksgiving has just passed and my favorite thanksgiving cartoon is the sesame street characters sitting around a table and you see this like roasted turkey but it has big legs she's like i thought a picture you sent around of was big thanksgiving so she thought i was going to cook him up but now i woke him up even though he did freak me out when he was talking about stroke funding but again so join us for big bird and thirty super exciting yeah that will be yeah we're we're very fortunate to have such a nice relationship with the v q e d yes ok we are so busy in december we were offering so many things
