Sheesh! I plan all of my meals but I do have something out of the ordinary
for New Year's Day. And we did when I was growing up as well.

Actually when I was growing up, we went to an all night party that went into
the next day. The people who had the party had a big house and an outdoor,
unheated pool. We'd arrive after dinner. There were a lot of musicians and
instruments and people would take turns playing music.

When the sun came up, Don would begin cooking breakfast. Omelets for all.
Whatever kind you wanted. There was plenty of other food too. Then we'd go
home briefly to change into our swimsuits and go back for a dip in the pool.
To this day I don't know why we did it that way. We always went into the
pool so it would have made sense to bring the suits with us. But we never
did. And going into the pool was just plain stupid. We'd be frozen after a
quick dip then need to go home and get into bed to warm up. The adults
didn't go into the pool. Only the kids.

We would sleep for a few hours then my mom would wake us for dinner which
was usually turkey roll or if she had made a whole turkey for Christmas,
then leftovers of that. But we always had rolls and some sort of dessert
plus a relish plate. These were things we didn't normally have.
