deuces wild Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 The holidays are winding down, with perhaps the wildest yet to come (New Year's Eve). What are your plans? Unfortunately our daughter will be leaving tomorrow after spending about 3 week with us. She has to work NY's Eve and NY's Day, then start classes again for the new quarter at Ohio State University. We loved to have her back home but she is itching to get back to her *home*, We have again invited 7 of our closest friends over for the evening for horsderves (I just call it dinner), drinks, music and dancing....mainly Mowtown with some disco ( :blink: ). We always have a blast and believe it or not, disco is really fun music during a party. New Year's Day will find us at Mass (if the hangovers are not too bad) then watching US Football games (mainly college bowls) and finally a dinner of beef rib roast and the fixings. I have off on January 2nd because the holiday falls on a Sunday (I have been off since December 22nd :biggrin: ). So how about you? Are you getting a bit wild and doing some partying on NY's Eve?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Our holidays have just begun, and I will be off until Jan 5. My original plan was to visit Nagasaki with friends, but all flights were booked out!Most of my friends will be leaving town over the New Years days, so I will stay home alone, and maybe have some long walks in the empty city. Tokyo is truly amazing over the New Year - everything is closed, no one is around, and you can walk on the middle of Roppongi Dori without seeing any cars.I may take my camera with me and shoot a few pics of empty Tokyo.Tomorrow evening is the annual New Year's party at Mr. and Mrs. Shinkawa's house. There will be about 100 guests, each trying to bring a sensational wine. I will probably bring a Tignanello. And of course I'll be wearing my winter kimono :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I would love to see pictures of your city Pat. Enjoy your party. Tignanello wine? Very good taste sir, but too expensive for me. A question: Does the Kimono have Chinese origins? If so, how was it introduced to Japan? Happy New Year to you and your family Pat.

Thos Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 We are looking after our three youngest granddaughters tonight whilst their parent go partying. We'll probably get in take-away pizza etc. 'cos that is a treat for them and let them stay up to see the New Year in, if they want to.Tomorrow afternoon we will take them and re-unite them with their parents at a New Years Day party at my other son's house.So it is a family celebration for us.Thos.

Pev Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I will be going to the Cornish town of Torpoint with friends. I'll also be meeting up with my son, daughters and ex-wife when I get there. The whole town will be in fancy dress and it's a good laugh. I don't know what I'll be wearing - some of my female friends have already set something up for me :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pev Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 The mind boggles, you could well be in for a shock! It wasn't too bad, they dressed me up as a wizard. It could have been worse as they dressed one guy up as a nurse and another as Marilyn Monroe. :biggrin: The problem was that 'Marilyn Monroe' forgot he still had make up on and went to the paper shop this morning. He wondered why he was getting funny looks! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
