December 31, 2011. Playa Royale, Mexico. New Years Eve.

Tonight we will stay at home.  There are many options open to us here in Nuevo Vallarta,  but Ken has a cold so we have spent the day in the condo, watching football.   We will continue to enjoy ourselves and celebrate the New Year quietly,  at home.  Actually we will celebrate along with the good folks in Nova Scotia, where the time is two hours ahead of us.  We will celebrate midnight in Liverpool, then we will go to bed.

My favorite celebrations  for the new year have always been held at home, with good friends.  A few times in my life I have been talked into a large dance and dinner party, but I have not enjoyed them.  The frivolity seems to be forced as everyone is determined to be festive, whether they wanted to be or not.  Last year was lovely.  We all stayed home at Suzanne and David's home.  The kids had a dance party with the WII and we all ate, and ate, and ate.  Then we went to bed, after the ball dropped in New York.  The kids were happy and so were the adults.

Tonight Ken and I will be home, together, which we will enjoy.  And we hope Ken feels better tomorrow.
