How to Spend New Year's Eve Alone

For many people, New Year's Eve is a time to go out to parties with friends and family. These events are a great way to ring in the new year. I, however, will be spending most of New Year's Eve alone. You see, the wife got very lucky in that she doesn't have to work at all during Christmas week. However, to do so, she had to sacrifice her New Year's Eve night. That's not too big a deal for us as neither one of us really care a whole lot about New Year's Eve. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the day. It's just not all that important to me.
