On the Twelfth Day of a Feminine Christmas
And so it is New Year’s Eve…
I hope there will be some romance in your celebration as the holidays are a wonderful time to reacquaint yourself with your significant other and enjoy a little old-fashioned flirtation. The opportunity for an amorous rendezvous with a significant other are few and far between in this hard-edged world of ours and tonight of all nights, it is the perfect chance to dress up a little and see the new year in together. William Powell and Myrna Loy got the memo as seen above.
But if you are alone this New Year’s Eve, there is nothing wrong with romancing yourself. Make a lovely dinner, cuddle up with a good book or movie or watch the revelers on TV. Tonight is also the perfect night for the original Saturday Night Bath with all the bubbly fixings. A small glass of bubbly wouldn’t hurt a bit either.
My mother always says that New Year’s Eve is for amateurs and for real style, it’s better to order Chinese takeout and stay under a cozy blanket. She may have a point. But if you’re lucky enough to have been invited out to a boisterous party, I urge you to go. At least for a little while.
As for me, my partner is away, so I will be under the covers. Perhaps I will be dreaming up new blog posts for the future…I have one in mind this very moment.
I hope your Christmas was everything you wished for and I sincerely thank you for your readership.
More soon….and Happy New Year!

I loved your 12 Days of a Feminine Christmas! It so reminded me to stay lovely in spite of all the hustling to play out all my extended roles. Thank you for writing. The reading is as comforting as a cozy cuppa tea. XO

A lovely post, Donna, and Happy Christmas to you, too! I love the idea of staying under a duvet on New Year's Eve – indeed we did this, and had our little son's dog Barry for company while he and daughter in law were out with her family for a meal.

I am home alone and feeling a little lonely. Will take your advice above and see if a lovely bath with a something bubbly, along with book and/or movie under a cozy quilt may just be what I need to end the year on a positive note. Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year ! Great post! For us, the best of both worlds – a cozy dinner at home, a walk to the community center for a dance or two, stop on the way home for a drop in party of bubbly and dessert at a neighbors, then home in pj mode to snuggle and welcome 2019 ! Looking forward to reading all your wonderful posts in the New Year!
