Santa Matt has lots of experience at this (he has four children)!
My wish for all of us is that we can lay aside our fears for the New Year, forget the utterly horrible old one, and have a great day with friends and family. And should one of those people be, uh, enthused for the New Year, we can leave early/drink/smoke a bowl/meditate/whatever works for you! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
