Tasha Does Tulsa.

//

Because I love my TDT readers, I’d like to offer you a distraction from the short work week, holiday plans, gift wrapping and obligatory casserole baking.

Answer me this: What do you do for New Years Eve in Tulsa? Spare me the dud plans, which include staying home and chewing twizzle sticks while you boast that watching the ball drop on TV is much better than being stuck in the crowds at Times Square.

I’m talking about the New Years Eve goings on that are worthy of a resolution the next morning, over black-eyed peas for extra luck.

I think we all deserve to know about the most fun New Years parties in town, even if some of us will be caught in what Stefanie Wilder-Taylor calls “the black hole of childcare.” I want to be able to smugly say to my husband that evening, “Hey, at least we’re not at one of those loud, happy, glittery, wild parties – being here is much better than being stuck in a sea of sun-shiny, smiling faces somewhere,” even though I’ll have to say it really quietly, lest I wake the little man who has decorated our guest room in elephants and Dr. Seuss books and who wouldn’t exactly be down for a game of airplane as the ball drops on TV. Early to bed, early to rise, as he would say.

Tell me what you’re going to do to make me “glad” the evening of Dec. 31!
