We all went to my friend's house where she had a huge bonfire and we burned an effigy!
He was the Man of Gloom from 2009, made up of an outfit stuffed with newspaper with an old pair of shoes dangling down.
Each of us gave the man things to take and burn from the past year to make a clean arrival into 2010. Some of us did it silently and some of us pushed him around a bit before he got doused in white gas and thrown onto the fire where he made a huge bright wave of flame.
Champagne and sparklers and dessert followed!
All before 9pm!
Hooray for kid (and tired adult) friendly New Year's Eve parties!
Happy 2010!
Blessings for a marvelous year!
