New Years at Home

Here's Ben in front of the Christmas tree.

It's New Years Eve and we are staying home. I've never been a New Years party-person. I don't drink and I don't like being out late in cold weather.

We did some socializing on Saturday. Had the couple across the road over for some refreshments in the afternoon, and attended a get-together at a friend's house in the evening. Her guests included several children and two dogs, who mingled with her own dog. Her cat was off hiding somewhere. We left Ben at home, which is good because he is nervous and sometimes disagreeable.
