I never wait up to see the New Year in.......and New years day is just another day to me.
Where is March...bring it on, and be quick about it.

I have had loads of nice Xmases and can say the same for NY Eve too - one really memorable one in Edinburgh and loads of others with different friends through the years.
The Millenium was spectacular too - was on a farm in a tiny village near Turin -the Alps ark all around the area and the fireworks across the mountains were incredible. We had deep snow, a beautiful tree in the garden all lit up and a great party of colleagues, family and friends...plenty of mulled wine and Champagne and the kids with fireworks and sparklers were having the time of their lives...what a lot of hope was invested in the NY Eve - hasn't turned out to be the century everyone was hoping for so far though...
Over the last 5 years I've always seen in NY alone and it's so sad -my husband always covers for one of the men to stay off and is up milking at 2-30 am. I watch the TV and ring up family and friends as the NY comes in where they are...would love to go back to the partying days!
