Now that Christmas Eve is behind us, comes the more festive celebration of New Year’s Eve. The food is lighter, the champagne is abundant or just enough and the expectation of the new year is accelerating. Here are five simple steps that will make your New Years celebration a lot more enjoyable.
Clean Up Your Home
There is not much fun in this one, but before you start working on your New Year’s resolution list, clean up your home first. Our surroundings are usually a reflection of our inner beings, and if we can’t keep our home tidy, most likely we won’t have the strength to keep our resolutions.
Dress The Parts
Not because you are not hosting a big party means you have to receive the new year in PJ’s. Even if it’s only you and your close family, make an effort to dress up. Start the year with the right foot forward and make that extra effort for your self and your loved ones.
Know Your Champagne

Champagne is the known drink for festive activities and celebrations. Get to know the different kinds of bubbly drinks available starting from what is champagne, how to read the labels and what glasses to use. Don’t worry, there are good champagnes that don’t have to be ridiculously pricey.
Make Some Noise
If you can’t afford a band, then blow noise horns, ring bells, wear fun hats and set off fireworks.
Embrace A New Tradition
I grew up with the tradition of eating 12 grapes at the clock of midnight on New Year’s Eve. Each grape is supposed to represent good luck for each month of the coming year.
