Ringing in the New
Happy New Year’s Eve Day! Things are all a-flurry at Teacherperson’s house today as we prepare for our big New Year’s bash. Last year, we had 121 people. The year before, 108. What will this year bring? I’ve laid in a stock of 2 L sodas, five bags of ice, over 200 cups and paper plates, two boxes of brownie mix, and fixings for pancakes for everyone who stays over. Lord willing, our guests will bring the rest of the food.
What will we do? Play games, chat, eat food, laugh, and generally have a fine time. I’m excited to use my new Christmas camera which takes panorama shots, so I can finally get everyone in a room during the ball drop into the picture all at once.
If you don’t have anything going on, feel free to join us! Oh, and enjoy your Leap Second!

Happy New Year!
That is a lot of New Year’s guests! Happy New Year!
What a huge endeavor!! It always sounds like you have tons of fun at these parties; we will be waiting to hear all about it! Tons of best wishes for the new year!
Why so few guests? I would have expected at least 200 at your home (smile) to make it a real party!
Indeed,indeed, we brought in the New Years with good friends and a little rook game~not quite the size of your extravaganza~but we DID have pancakes for breakfast!
Happy New Years friend!

As always, fabulous party. It will probably take me all day to recover – luckily, there’s lots of football to watch including that Rose Bowl! We Are….!
Thanks to you, Teacherperson, for your desire to host this bash every year.
Happy New Year! I don’t know how you do it. Where do you put so many people?
Wow Mary! I agree with the above comments…you are very brave to have so many people. That is great! We went to a couple’s house from our church. It’s a nice way for the whole family to celebrate the new year. We have a neat tradition of praying in the new year so when the clock strikes midnight, we are all in a circle in prayer.
Happy New Year Mary!!
