In our younger days, the New Year was spent with a night out having fun. Good friends gathered without a care in the world as the endless possibilities of the year ahead beckoned. The whole world celebrated and the excitement of it all brought each freezing cold night of our annual tradition to an end...and a beginning.
Fast forward to this year. Fancy party dresses with sequins and sparkles have been traded in for yoga pants and t-shirts. The excitement has been refocused on who can stay up until midnight (parents included) and the still freezing cold night has been made even more painfully brisk while waiting outside to take the dog out.
We all made it through though. At the stroke of midnight, screams and cheers rang through the house as we watched the ball drop. The more I think about it though, things haven't really changed that much.
