New Year's Eve Toasts

We're headed out for a pre-dinner 'social hour,' to be followed by dinner with several friends, and then a couple of post-dinner sips of champagne.

Before we go, I'd like to wish each of you a safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve, followed by a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2013.

Now on with the party!

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
-- William Shakespeare

The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you’re married to.
-- P.J. O’Rourke
