Every year my friends Tom and Sharron have a party on Superbowl Eve. It is more or less a recap of the December and January parties…. only much later. They find a tree at the end of Christmas and keep it up till the party. Santa shows up (he gave out Lotto tickets this year… other years have been cigarettes and airline sized bottles of booze) and at midnight it’s new years again with all the horn blowing and kissing, etc. Then we dance. Sometimes there’s just too many parties during actual Holliday time and it all can become a sort of social chore, but by now everyone is getting depressed and house bound by the cold and just ready for a party again. Plus it’s nice to be a little hung over and nurse the wounds with beer and wings and football the next day.
