Every year the people of Santa Fe, New Mexico, burn Zozobra. The ritual signifies the letting go of all of the years negative feelings. The 100 foot doll marionette, nicknamed Old Man Gloom, is stuffed full of things like divorce papers, and other stuff that brings up bad memories, and then they burn him.
I wish I could be there this year. I have had a lot of bad luck these past several years and I could certainly contribute to the ceremony.
