What I did on New Year's Eve (a tad belated)

I believe New Year's Eve is the most phenomenal holiday. I didn't always think that, cause you know, it's no fun to be 11 and hanging out with your parent's friends and everyone is half asleep and struggling to hold a conversation by 10:30. But it's all good. The past two years I have hosted a party for my friends at my house.

Last year's theme was J. Crew. We basically got dressed up and had fun. I dunno if you could necessarily call our looks J. Crew, but style is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.  We danced to that Wii game Just Dance. It's really funny to me cause we don't drink a lick of alcohol and yet we have a blast. Sidenote soapbox: Don't get drunk to try to have fun. I've been sober every day of my life and I've had some pretty good times. And I can actually remember them. These are photos from 2010 --> 2011

2011 --> 2012 was awesome too. Maybe even more awesome. We did a Mad Men theme. I don't even think any of us watch the show, we just like the classy 60's ensemble. A side theme was classic game shows (you are about to be treated to a few photos of me wearing a ridiculous Vanna White dress.)

We played Jeopardy, The Price is Right (with the white elephant gifts we brought) and The Newlywed Game (hilarious considering not everyone there was a couple.) We basically had a blast through the wee hours of the morning. View yonder photos as proof:

Stick on mustaches added to the classy level (or made Seth look like a sleazy car salesman)

The engaged couples.

Jeopardy

Nothing's more hip than a sparkling cider toast at midnight

I have awesome friends (who apparently do not know which way to hold letters)
