My wife and I decided to stay in this year and celebrate the year changing by ourselves.  We prepared a very nice steak dinner, with a salad and croissant rolls, and had a really nice bottle of wine with supper.  My wife put our best linens on the table, and set it with our best china, silver, and crystal ware.  A couple of white taper candles, and a bouquet of fresh flowers bought at the store yesterday made the dining room look very romantic.  We dressed up in our best “party clothes” and pretended we were at a fancy restaurant.  After supper we cleaned up the dishes together and then put on some of our favorite music and danced our favorite slow dances in the kitchen.

Then we watched the new Indiana Jones movie that I bought recently, and then turned the television onto Dick Clark’s New Year’s Eve show to watch the ball drop.  We were really glad we decided to stay in; it was bitterly cold out and the wind was very strong.  All in all it was a very nice way to end the old year, and start the new year.  We might do that again next year too!
