This year I spent New Year's Eve with my best friend, her husband and their 8-year-old son. We played Headbanz and Uno and Monopoly, drank lots of wine and delicious tropical fusion bubbly (not the 8-year-old), talked about all kinds of issues big and small, and went to bed around 12:11. It was a blast. A happy medium for me because I was "out" (of my own house) on a big *party night* without actually having to be "OUT".
New Year's is my favorite holiday, bar none. Yes, I could say Christmas or Thanksgiving or Easter, but when I think of the actual emotional high I get from the day, it's New Year's all around. I love counting down to midnight, I love watching Dick Clark's (RIP) New Year's Rockin' Eve, I LOVE the actual feeling on New Year's Day that I have literally entered a completely different life than the one I had yesterday. Blank slate, fresh page, new calendar, all that jazz. I 100% buy into it every year and it's AWESOME! Linus and the Great Pumpkin have nothing on Cousin Chip and the Spirit of New Year's Day.
I'm amazed at how different we are! Usually we are spot on, the same down to the spelling so this one surprised me. :)
