How was your Christmas? My long holiday weekend was two days of sheer chaos followed by doing absolutely nothing on Boxing Day. Between refills of Irish coffee and google searches for return policies, clearance sales, and sausage-ball recipes, I watched my final Christmas movie of the season on Sunday evening — Klaus (three stars, would watch again) — and then searched for more NYE events for this column. Here is what I found. You’re welcome.
