When the children were small , they always wanted me to wake them up on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year . I would prepare a pitcher of kool-aid and pour it into wine glasses so we could make a toast together . When midnight came , no matter how much I tried to wake them , they'd turn over and go back to sleep . That was my New Year's Eve for a long time .
Nowadays , my New Year's Eve isn't much different except there is no kool-aid , but real wine . We've never really gone out to celebrate in style all dressed to the nines like alot of my friends . Somehow , I've never felt I've missed out by staying at home .
This year , I know people that will be baptized at the stroke of midnight as well as people celebrating at their church with a chili cookout . Some of my friends are having a huge party at home or you could be like Emily and myself with a quiet night .
Either way , we both would like to wish you a very Happy New Year ! See you in 2013 ! Have a Blessed Year everyone !
