Good Riddance Day

Good Riddance Day is based on a Latin American Tradition that is celebrated at new year. It invites people to write down any unpleasant, embarrassing or bad memories or bad experiences etc that they've had in the past year and to burn or shred them as a way of letting them go. 

It could be an alternative to New Years resolutions if people aren't sure what resolutions to make. It clears the way for new and better experiences to come. 

I've already decided that when I get to sorting out all my paperwork, including past journals etc, I'll be having a glorious big bonfire in my back garden to get rid of what I no longer want to hang on to.
