We host an annual New Year's Eve party for two couples and ourselves each year. We enjoy good food, games, fireworks, and a bonfire while we wait for the Times Square countdown. Our friends stay in the guest rooms because of the eggnog and other refreshments we serve throughout the event. Then the next morning we all have breakfast and the guests leave at their leisure.
