It's important to keep up your families traditions every year.

Everyone has their Holiday traditions. Caroling. Decorating the tree. Going to Costco.

Every year we go to Florida to visit the family during the Holidays. We hit all of the stores to get supplies because Grandpa is there and he is cooking up a storm. So we go to Penn Dutch to get meat and veggies. Now Whole Foods to get condiments and gluten free supplies. And of course Costco to pick up stuff in bulk.

Now of course there is a Costco in Brooklyn but I never go there. It is too far and you need a car. But in Florida we rolled right up. Any you know what the best part of shopping in Costco is. Of course.

The Hot Dogs.

I begged and I pleaded and I got permission to have a hot dog. Man was I happy. I got on line and was able to score a nice dirty greasy hot dog. It was just like Nathans.

I ran right over to the condiment section and loaded up. I had to take my chance to have all the bad stuff in one shot because they watch me like a hawk. Relish. Onions. Deli Mustard. The works!

I managed to gobble it down from the door of Costco to the car. I was one happy dude. A greasy Hot Dog and a Mountain Dew. I felt like a native Floridian.

Merry Christmas to me!

What will you be watching on New Years Eve

We are not going out tonight. I don't feel well enough and we are pretty tired anyway. The last few years we either had people over or we went to a friends house for New Years Eve. We didn't go out much anymore.

One year we did get all dressed up. I put on a tux and Lisa got a great dress and we went to the "Campbell Apartment" which is this great bar in Grand Central Station. They had a full orchestra who played swing music with a great Frank Sinatra Impersonator guy. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to Times Square and hit a few joints I did the taxes for until the wee hours. But that is too much for us now.

What really sucks is that I can't have my normal New Year feast of pigs in a blanket and salt covered Tater Tots. I am really going to miss them this year.

I hope you guys have fun tonight and stay safe.

Happy New Year!

I am ready to dive in!

To 2013!

Happy New Year Everybody!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Let's hope it will be happy, healthy and prosperous New Year for all of us.

See you in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commenter Memories Number 58 Happy New Years

Hey thanks to the Crack Emcee for sending us this photo of how he celebrated New Year's Eve!

Rock on my brother from another mother!

Happy New Year!

Well we are off.

I don't know what we are going to do. There was some talk of some of the other shop owners all going to the wine and cheese place to usher in the New Year but I don't know if the snow didn't throw a monkey wrench into that.

It's too early to go there now (about 6pm) and once we get home we might be too comfortable to go out again.

Whatever.

Hey all of youse guys, no matter what you are doing, have a Happy, Prosperous and Healthy New Year.

God Bless You all and Have a Happy New Year!

Hey what are your plans for New Years Eve?

We used to get together with a bunch of friends and have a big blowout. We talked about doing something in the wine and cheese place but we couldn't organize anything and we are just too exhausted after the trip to Florida.

So we will have a quiet night at home.

Now that is heaven in my book.

It's all there in black and white.

"Why hello Trey. I haven't seen you in quite some time. Too busy for me?"
"No Selina. But it was the holidays and I had to spend time with my family."
"Well did you have to neglect your friends so? I mean not a word for weeks."
"I was very busy. But you seem to have made a new friend?"
"Who Doug? Yes he is a fellow patient here. We are putting together a skit to entertain everyone for News Year."
"Really, what kind of skit?"
"Why a magic act. You see I am going to make Doug's bird disappear. Would you like to try it. I could make your bird disappear. Don't worry. It will be in a warm moist place. It will slip right in. Your bird will feel great...Trey...Trey...Trey..."
"Hamana, hamana, hamana, uuuurrrrpppphhhhh!!!!"
"Yes well Happy New Year to you too Trey. My goodness you just turned blue like the blue moon tonight. Hee."
