How was your New Yearâs Eve and New Yearâs Day? I usually have a good time on both days, but this year, my New Yearâs Day was considerably better than my New Yearâs Eve. To use some of our cufflinks as convenient visual aids, my New Yearâs Eve was more akin to these Aspirin Cufflinks:
âŚthan these Champagne Bottle Cufflinks:
Since we were both still suffering from head-colds, the hubby and I stayed in for New Yearâs Eve, and just barely managed to keep awake long enough to watch the ball drop on TV. (The aspirin was, alas, not to cure the results of overindulging in champagne, but rather to contend with a cold related headache.)
After sleeping in, however, we were in far better spirits the next day, and managed to have a nice New Yearâs Day with two great meals. Our household is a âmulti-cultiâ one, if you will, so we had bagels and lox for brunch, and a soulfood dinner of rice, black-eyed peas, and greens for dinner. Both meals were a great start to 2009, and reminded us that we usually have more to be thankful about than to be worried or concerned. (Perhaps this is why Cufflinks Depot has so many fun and whimsical cufflinks?)
How did you celebrate the beginning of 2009?
