New Year's: My Favorite Holiday

     New Year's Eve has always been my favorite holiday. I love the anticipation, the festive atmosphere, dressing up, spending time with friends, the countdown, etc. I generally plan what I'm going to do and what I'm going to wear for weeks ahead of time. This year I was thrilled to come into a little bit of money, so I could purchase a new sparkly top and headband to wear for the occasion. I'll pair that with some dependable staple clothing items and I'll be ready for a good time. The plan is to go out for dinner and then to a local small concert venue for a show. It is not what I normally do for the holiday, but then again what is normal anymore? I used to go to parties and stay up until the wee hours of the morning. Last year I went to a movie and drank mimosas until the ball dropped and then went to bed. So, this year's events will be an exciting change to get my New Year's festivities back on course. I think I have always held New Year's in high regard because I have not had to work that day or at least I got off work with time left to spare before midnight. I have had to work many Thanksgivings and Christmases, so this is my holiday.
