New Year’s Eve is our chance to say goodbye to the current year while ringing in the next; however, New Year’s celebrations aren’t one-size-fits-all since what is fun for one person might not work for another. So, to say so long to 2022 and hello to 2023, consider having a celebration that fits your personal interests and preferences.

There are two camps of people after the holidays. On January 2, one camp makes a mad dash to tear down the tree and put away every trace of the season. The other camp dreads post-holiday packing and waits until the first buds of spring to arrive to do so. No matter which camp you fall into, cleanin
