Midnight in Paris

December 31, 2013 – Midnight in Paris

Elliott and I have never been New Year’s Eve revelers.  We prefer to stay home and go to bed at our regular bedtime.  So we’ve developed a tradition called Midnight in Paris.  This is how it works:  When it’s midnight in the French capital, we celebrate the arrival of the new year.  With the six hour time difference, it’s only 6:00 p.m. Eastern time when celebrate.  As usual, we stayed on Convento Terrace for New Year’s Eve.  In fact, our neighbors came to our house for a very low-key celebration.  It’s a little after 9:00 p.m. now, everyone has departed, and I’ve finished the cleanup.  As far as we’re concerned, this is the perfect way to usher in 2014.  

Welcoming 2014 at home

Elliott and I wish all of our friends and family a very happy and healthy new year, a year in which you find joy, time for reflection, and a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
