Not gonna lie, I don't know a single soul who does anything big these days on New Year's Eve.
Or New Year's Day for that matter.
Still, I find New Years to be a holiday that conjures up all kinds of nostalgia and warm fuzzy feelings. The endless possibilities that lie ahead in a fresh, new, year, just waiting to unfold. Looking back on the good times and not-so-good times from the year past also inspires me to do more next year, to do better.
Whether I'm spending it with friends (which has not happened in several years now) or just home with Ralph, I add a few New YEar's touches here and there....on the mantle sometimes, or the coffee table as we enjoy snacks while watching something New Years-ey on TV, or on the dining table (with a yummy breakfast!)
This being said, I'd love to know what, if anything, you do on New YEar's Eve and New YEar's Day. I made up a cutie-patootie little printable to share with you as we all kisss 2024 goodbye and welcome in the sparkling new 2025, if you're feeling inclined to memorialize this seemingly little-celebrated holiday. (Who buys all those decorations that suddenly appear out of nowhere at the grocery store this week, anyway?)
Just click on the link, Download Year tags 2024 2025, print it out, cut out the pieces, and you are set. Add a few old alarm clocks and it you have a full fledged celebration situation going on. (ps. If you are local, Camas antiques is open today until 3:00, and I restocked New Year's Eve sparklers there, as well as conversation cards for New Years!)
Happy, happy New Year's Eve, my friends!
