What I see when I walk into Kohl's.  Does the checked dress look familiar?

It's true!  This New Year's Eve, the husband and I had my parents over as we always do.  I wore my Kohl's clothes as usual.  And, as I do every time I make my lattice chicken casserole, I fretted that it was underdone (it was).  Instead of watching a movie or playing a board game, we watched Ryan Seacrest's New Year's Rockin' Eve and toasted each other with sparkling cider at midnight.  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  Let other people try to switch things up and stress out over making resolutions.  I'll be here in the Trove with my traditions, wearing an over-the-top outfit and hoping that I don't give anyone salmonella.         

That said, the husband did do one slightly new thing, which was to spell out 2023 in Pillsbury crescent roll dough on top of the casserole before I baked it: 

He took this pic because he was concerned that I'd obliterate his handiwork with shredded cheddar and French fried onions, which I (although not on purpose) most certainly did.

See?  Some things never change.

I hope your New Year's was and is just how you like it, whether that means hang gliding through the stratosphere of your inhibitions or becoming one with the fabric of your favorite armchair.

I'm picturing the one from Frasier and hope you are too.
