This year I'm staying at home. Mother expressed the desire to be together. Not openly, but in the peculiar way mothers can request something without actually asking. I think you know what I mean. I've never liked parties you're forced to join in these occasions anyway... So yes, it'll be a quiet New Year's Eve... (but last year was Disneyland... oh well..)
Kind of obvious: Happy New Year to everybody
PS: congrats to Mourdor
