I'm doing what I always do on New Year's Eve, which is stay home and make a dinner that we only make that night (grilled ham and swiss on rye, and pigs in a blanket). Both NYE and July 4th have burned us out on dealing with drunk drivers. I asked for the night off and volunteered for New Year's Day instead (where the holiday pay is). My parents may or may not come over that night. They usually do, but this year they're acting all weird because they own a house now.
