I love celebrating New Year's Eve. There's the combined excitement of completing a year with the anticipation of a fresh start the following day. Add to that the nostalgic element that I met my husband at a New Year's Eve party that I co-hosted many years ago. Have an Entertaining week and a Happy New Year!
