New Year’s Eve Traditions, Pugh’s Flowers Memphis
The new year is a time for new beginnings, and by the time December 31 rolls around, many people welcome the chance to start fresh and leave the past in the past. Why else would over one million people watch the famous ball drop in New York City’s Times Square every year, while almost one billion people watch the televised spectacle? Australia’s Sydney Harbour welcomes over one million people every year to watch fireworks over the water, and fireworks over the Thames are a custom in London. How we celebrate depends on where in the world we are on the last day of the year because New Year’s traditions differ from country to country. But no matter where it’s celebrated, New Year’s is always welcomed with traditional food and drink that people hope will bring them luck and prosperity. Here in the United States, the beginning of a new year is celebrated with Champagne toasts at midnight, and in the South, eating black beans is considered lucky. In Estonia, it’s traditional to eat seven, nine, or 12 meals on New Year’s Eve, with part of each meal left unfinished for the spirits of ancestors who visit the house that day. And people in Scotland participate in the tradition of "first footing" on New Year’s Day, bringing gifts of shortbread, a black bun, and whisky to a neighbor’s house. However you celebrate, there are plenty of ways to say "Happy New Year!" from Australia to Wales, and many of them involve traditions that promise luck and prosperity.

Behold the Power of Flowers, Pugh’s Flowers Memphis
Everyone knows that flowers make people happy and enhance people’s moods, but the mood power of flowers may be even greater than we realize. Science has proven time and again that flowers play a powerful role in our lives, but their positive effect on our mental health is nothing short of incredible. A study conducted by Rutgers University found that every single one of its 150 test participants expressed happiness upon receiving even one flower. The reaction was universal throughout all age groups and included both men and women. The study confirmed the possibility that flowers may, in fact, affect brain chemistry. Be Happy Mug by Pugh's Flowers Studies show that besides making us happy, flowers are also proven to: – fuel creativity and quick thinking – make employees more productive – help with stress reduction – increase focus – feed compassion – lower blood pressure – trigger memory – boost energy levels Giving is receiving What really sets flowers apart from other gifts is that the act of giving may actually be more beneficial than receiving. A study by Texas A&M concluded that givers were perceived as caring, successful and emotionally intelligent people who possess the ability to not only express their own feelings but to take the time to understand the feelings of others. Studies have also shown that a person can actually influence and change what others think of them in a significant way through the gifts they give, and perhaps no other gifts have the ability to evoke such positive feelings and perceptions as flowers. Find the right mood When a person sends flowers – or purchases them for their own enjoyment – the types of flowers they choose may play a significant role in enhancing a particular mood. Warm color flowers in reds, yellows and oranges boost energy and stimulate the brain, making people more alert and creative. On the other end of the spectrum, cool color flowers and plants in greens and blues tend to create a more soothing effect by slowing the production of stress hormones to aid in relaxation. No matter what the occasion, flowers are indeed the perfect gift of happiness and positive vibes – they are a potent mood elevator and a natural source of pleasure. Call Pugh's Flowers today and let us help you experience for yourself – the incredible mood power of flowers.
