Even those as cynical as I really do have friends. I ran into two old friends this afternoon running errands -- one I have not seen in a couple of years, and one I have not seen in about a year. It was so wonderful to bump into them unexpectedly. It made me glad I had actually applied make-up and put on deoderant prior to leaving the house;)
Seriously, when I asked my old friends what their plans were for the New Year's evening both replied that they were renting movies and just hanging out with their family. I thought that was great.
I guess New Year's has turned into Christmas really should be about. Isn't just being with your family what it's really all about? No material expectations, no hype, no nothing. Maybe a few hollers at midnight, but that's about it. New Year's is just hangin' and enjoying each other's company.....

Well, you are MY friend and for that I'm eternally grateful. Even minus deordourant and make-up you are very special. As for cynical...wouldn't have you any other way!!
From one healthy cynic to another girlfriend ~ think it might have something to do with the lack of "marketing" ability for New Years? I mean even the obnoxious establishment seems to find it hard to come up with effective and non-insulting marketing gimmicks for the occasion. What are they gonna do "Hey you ~ buy all new stuff in honor of the New Year because your taste LAST year really sucked!"
Or ... well ... you get my drift :)
Cynics of the world unite; we're all doomed anyway so we might as well go down holding hands!
