When the folks at Baileys offered to host a new section of urbanmoms.ca celebrating member’s memorable moments with friends, we thought the holiday season was a perfect time to launch!
It can be hard to find time to get together so we wanted to hear how you make time for Holiday Cheer with your pals. Thank you to all of the members who submitted stories. The theme this week is "New Years Memories". Enjoy!
When You Least Expect It: Twelve years ago I decided I was going to take it easy on New Years Eve. Every year I made big plans, attended a big party, and had high hopes for the evening and every year I was disappointed. This year I was going to a friend’s house with a small group of friends and some of their friends (around 15 or 20 people total). We were going to eat, have a few drinks, and enjoy each other’s company with no pressure for the evening. I didn’t even bother to get all dressed up but went over in my favourite jeans and a plain t-shirt. Little did I know that this was to be a very special evening! A friend of a friend had invited her cousin who was in from out of town. We hit it off immediately! We spent the whole night chatting and laughing. When the countdown to midnight came I became a bit self-conscious, not sure if it was just me feeling the connection. I needn’t have worried. As soon as the clock struck twelve Dan planted a huge kiss on me and we have been together ever since! This is definitely my favourite New Years Eve memory!! ~ Jennifer
