Lisa Matassa's Top 3 New Years
Resolutions:
1. Train our new puppy not to tinkle in
the house.
2. Have the Xmas tree down before Easter.
3. Try my best to make sure items #1 and
#2 happen at some point during the year.
Lisa Matassa's Funniest New Years Eve
Story:
The only funny story from NYE I have is
when we had a party and everyone was
having a great time when around 1:30AM we
realized we couldn't find my husband
Frank anywhere. We looked inside the
house, outside the house and his truck
was still in the driveway so we knew he
had to be somewhere!! After about 1/2
hour I looked again for him upstairs in
our bedroom and lo and behold, I see a
pair of shoes next to the bed. The bed
was still fully made with all the throw
pillows and such so I assumed he didn't
go to bed. I took a double take and
that's when I noticed the huge lump
underneath the bedspread. My husband had
crawled underneath the entire bedding and
fell asleep with his clothes on. I'm
guessing he had one too many that night
and couldn't keep up with the rest of us! |

Krystal Keith's Favorite New Year's Eve
Story:
There have been several years where my
family and I have spent the week after
Christmas at Disney World and end the
trip with the firework show at Epcot on
New Year’s Eve. There is nothing
better than a week in the most magical
place on Earth topped off with a bottle
of champagne at the water’s edge
with my husband and my entire family
ringing in all the possibilities that the
New Year brings. |

Joanna's Most Memorable New Year's Eve
Story:
"I remember a New Year's Eve party
at a friend's house many years ago where
many people were supposed to attend.
Unfortunately, me and my date were the
only ones who showed up. It was very
embarrassing. The hosts kept going to the
front door to see if anyone was arriving.
We were supposed to go to another party
that night later in the evening, but
didn't have the heart to leave early. We
tried to be really fun guests, but I know
my friends felt badly that no one showed
up. |
