Countdown to the New Year: Your New Year's Eve Feast.
When it involves throwing parties, guests tend to separate into a pair of rather separate categories: those who love it, and those who would choose to do virtually something else. Staying organized ahead of time is essential, and selecting a few tasty creations to kick off the evening will amuse your attendees while you aim to hold everything together.
