I like to think that we are sliding into 2025 with a happy New Year vibe that comes close to these festive boaters at this year’s Venice Canals Holiday Boat Parade. Or at least our goal is not to hit the new year like we are going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
Tomorrow, I will give you a look at my new year’s resolutions, my gardening wins and fails, and a decluttering/cleaning challenge that should start the new year off right. Tonight, I will eat the perfect amount of flourless chocolate cake and sip one of our favorite Champagnes. And I’ll try not to think about how much more that Champagne will be next year if tariffs are imposed on imports. We’ll cheer on our football teams and re-watch one of our favorite old movies (Yes, Casablanca is always in the running).
Overall, tonight is a night of gratitude at the cottage. I hope you have your perfect New Year’s Eve. Tomorrow, we get to work.
