We celebrated the New Year with friends in a local brewery. Complete with fabulous live band, buffet and a few minutes FaceTime with the Canadian half of our family.
They did have a silent projection running in the background showing various firework displays from around the world.
Brilliant evening.

We donāt do Xmas presents (well just a bit). The Dutch have Sinterklaas for presents earlier in December. Many people change this to Xmas presents nowadays, but we keep Xmas a family happening with food and Xmas services.

A little less expectation re presents is a great idea. These days kids are counting and comparing how many they got. Christmas has become far too commercial.
