New Year's Eve Plans

Mrs. Claus & I have decided to host a New Year's Eve party this year. We've hosted New Year's Eve parties in the past but never before have we decided to do so at the last minute like we have this year. As we typically do, we'll make it a fund raiser for charities. This year we'll raise money by charging a "cover" of $1,000 a person (includes transportation to the North Pole... so its a bargain) and running a Casino Night theme where all proceeds go to charity. We'll send out 500 or so invitations today via email. It should be fun but I can tell you that my relaxing week of watching American football bowl games was just blown away.

Of course, while I'll be at the party for most of the evening, I do have some New Year's Eve celebrations that I will be attending. So I'll do my share of darting around the globe on the 31st in addition to preparing for and attending the party. Keep an eye out for me if you are at one of the big celebrations in Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, Seattle, etc.

After the party and a day of watching New Year's Day bowl games on the 1st, it'll be back to work for a few days as we prepare to deliver presents to Eastern Europe, Egypt, and a few other regions of the world where they celebrate Christmas on January 7th. Then Mrs. Claus and I will head off to our Maui vacation.

Happy 2007!
