New Year's Eve Festivities

Due in part to inclement weather, we are postponing our traditional New Year's Eve almost-dinner, consisting of take-out Chinese food followed by indigestion, and we will instead look forward to partaking in both at some point over the weekend.

Instead, after a dinner of left-overs, we will go straight to our typical traditional-type festivities. I'm thinking of maybe lighting-up the spruce-scented candle - and then at some point, maybe around 10:00 PM, maybe even 10:30, I intend to pour myself a FULL GLASS of non-spiked egg nog. And if things go well, I may pour myself a SECOND GLASS. (I have almost a full carton left over from Christmas so I may as well use it up.)

Then, depending on how I'm feeling, I may turn down the lights and look at the rainbow LEDs stuffed in the bird feeder, which is hanging from one of the plants, while listening to the clocks tick.

If I have any energy left, I may even put up next year's calendar - even though the new year is not until tomorrow.

After that, bedtime. Probably.

I hope your New Year's Eve is all you hope it to be, as well.
