As the calendar turns and the celebrations begin, New Year’s Eve invites reflection as much as excitement. In today’s episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott looks back at how early Texans greeted the new year—not with certainty or grand resolutions, but with resolve. Drawing from 19th-century diaries and frontier experience, this episode explores a Texas tradition built on endurance, commitment, and the quiet decision to keep going no matter the conditions. A timely reminder that progress doesn’t require guarantees—just the will to move forward.
