Claire
Master Chef
Today (new year's day) we have a lunch date, and probably people dropping over later in the afternoon.
But in my community we take the 12th night as the last of the holidays, and this year it falls on Friday, which is when we all meet for drinks at our favorite "3rd place" anyway. So it won't feel like it's over 'til after Jan 6th.
We live in a small old tourist town, and those of us who actually live in town (there are some wealthy enclaves, gated communities, outside of town) tend to come alive after the tourists leave.
