For me, New Year’s Day is becoming a way of life. A few years ago, what little enthusiasm I had to celebrate a different holiday each month completely dissolved, like tattered old crepe paper streamers. I stopped celebrating all but one—New Year’s Day. I relish this holiday because it helps me to continually look forward, embrace how I’ve changed, and of course, enjoy food, drink and dancing with friends and family. I can relax and enjoy New Year’s Day, because I’m not expected to buy armfuls of gifts or to wear a particular color all day.
