We played Uno every New Years Eve. My dad said that he thinks that how I learned my colors and numbers. I hope everyone had fun. You did a great job and I wish you all the best in the contest

You should have called me! (But wait, that wouldn't have been the best idea, since Great Auntie Dawn has the flu...oh well, guess that tells you what I did NY's eve...)

What a sweet poem. Remind me not to play Monopoly with you (I don't know "Blitzed"). I get pretty ornery, which could be a real problem if your "pissed" isn't P#@&! -off. (LOL - just kiddin'.) Happy New Year, Debra.

Happy New Year to you too Dawn :)
I meant pissed in the tipsy/merry/drunk way, not the angry way! Although, Monopoly might see me losing my temper slightly!
I hope you're getting over the flu - I had a dose of the cold virus just before christmas.... not pleasant.
Kindest regards as always, Debra x

This is funny! I would say, you are the most fortunate of all people to have little ones to require babysitters. But I know they can be a strain when you are trying to live your life. One day, you will wish you didn't feel like that, but it happens to us all. We do need our own space at times. You need to plan ahead. LOL

I'm not familiar with this game, but you make a good point. Being with friends, chomping snacks, and chugged laced eggnog, while knowing your babies are safe would suit me fine.

I love this one! That last line is perfect! I've never played Dutch Blitz before. My family loves card games. We'll have to try that one out some time. This entry is really well done. Thank you so much for taking part in the contest! Happy New Year! :)

Hi Jenna :) happy new year to you too! Thanks for sponsoring this fun prompt and also for your great feedback. Dutch blitz is mind boggling to start off with, but once you've got the hang of it, it's brilliant. Spent a couple of hours after dinner playing today! I recommend it :) kindest regards...x

Blitzed! This is a wonderful New Years Eve 5/7/5 . The line: "Wearing pyjamas" is a reminder that we are constantly changing in our stages of life but we still have "reason to celebrate". May God Bless You Have a Happy New Year.

Now my interest has been spiked. Never heard of "Dutch Blitzed" Something I'm going to have to look up. Does it have an alternative name?

I'll give it my vote, because I can. If I can do it through my mobile as well, I'll use my funny money to promote it, because I can. LOL

Hi Imogen :) thank you for your generosity! I love your 'can-do-ness!' Very kind of you. Dutch blitz is great.... Very addictive. It's a game in its own right... We ordered it online for Ben for Christmas after being introduced to it by a friend of ours. If you get a set, prepare to become addicted!

I can remember when not being able to get a baby sitter on a big night like New Year's Eve was really a problem. But I'm not familiar with the game Dutch Blitz. This meets contest criteria. Good luck to you. Jeanie Mercer
