I have always hated going out on New Years because we need to be home to sweep out the old year and welcome the new. It'll be good to sweep out the old year this year. The last three years have not been my best. And I'll have to think of something wonderful to welcome in 2007, something festive, so that 2007 will think kindly of me and mine.
When I was growing up, my family always held a big New Years Day party, so we spent New Years Eve rolling meatballs and preparing party food. Somewhere along the line, they quit having the party, but kept fixing the food. So New Years eve will forever be associated with eggy raw meat in my memories, and New Years Day with eating way way too much.
