Most people who think of Thanksgiving will undoubtably think of turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce, and perhaps some type of football. Those who think of Christmas will think of decorating trees, hams, opening gifts, and perhaps stealing a kiss under the mistletoe. However, if you are living in New York City, you might have some surprising thoughts regarding these two holidays.
This year, both Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve are going to play hosts to a wide range of parties at various clubs. Thanksgiving made sense to me, because most people typically have off the next day (or entire weekend), and since dinners do not start until late, it seems the perfect time to go out and party.
The whole Christmas Eve party idea is a bit newer to me, and makes a little sense. I mean, sure, Christmas Eve is occurring on a Saturday this year, and most people are not really doing much the next day, but really I find it hard to believe that everyone wants to go out and party to celebrate Christmas Eve. I mean, the birth of Jesus might be a good reason to celebrate with a little wine, but bottle service and cover charges on this holiday are just a bit weird to me.
Then again, in today's economy I suppose that any excuse to throw a party is a good one, and I hope that the venues that are attempting to throw parties for Christmas Eve experience some great success. After all, you would hate to receive a lump of coal in the cash register on Christmas Day if the night does not go as well as you hope.
Party on NYC!
