2020 is almost done ladies and gentlemen! Yay! While things are not going to change in the first part of 2021, I am looking forward to what may come near the end of the year. Maybe I can do some small trips? Maybe I can hug my mom and dad again or maybe I can have a lindy hop dance with a stranger! Who knows! Whatever it is, it’s pretty darn exciting and I can’t wait.

Now for today’s post….I have done multiple posts on New Years in the past (hence the part 3) so I’m just going to build on what I have done and ask that you check out the fun in my other NYE posts, at the end of this post.

It’s always important that the drinks keep coming on NYE (boozy or the virgin kind), even if you have to look at a book on how to make them. This is a funny 1960s photo of a group of party goers trying to figure out how to make their next drinks. Question: What is the man on the right holding?
