( Cut for image! )At the risk of sounding super bah humbug, the excuse to look the other way when it comes to diets is pretty much the best thing about the holidays.
The best thing.FRIENDS - feel free to assume!I know that this is last minute, but it was just brought to my attention that my grandparents are going to be out of town over New Years, thus leaving the house empty, with the exception of the dogs and myself. So, in wildly stereotypical coming-of-age movie fashion, I think that means there's some legal requirements there that say that I have to throw a party? So, that's what I'm doing. I know the town has their thing, but I guess I still feel like that's the place the ~grown ups~ go to and I'm still roughly 10-15 years off from actually being a grown up, despite being able to legally drink. In case you also feel this way, consider yourself invited to ring in 2019 with me.
I'm going to get food and drink and, I don't know, fireworks? Are fireworks a thing people do for New Years? I'll get fireworks, so long as everyone promises not to burn themselves. But mostly the food and drink. Bring people, bring no one, just bring yourselves. ❤️
