Brie baked with raspberry jam on the inside
Shrimp rings
Summer sausage
Crackers and all kinds of cheeses
Smokies in BBQ sauce
Oranges
Cookies
Cream puffs
Chocolates
Chocolates filled with liqueur - my great-aunt made sure of that while she was alive ... I buy them every year in her memory
Punch cran-ras juice mixed with sprite ... raspberry cordial to “flavor” as needed on the side ... thanks grandpa for teaching me to make that
Napolean - my Russian grandmother's recipe ... in her memory ... she had the most amazing New Year's parties
Eggnog with whiskey or rum -different strokes for different folks
Sparkling cider for the kids
Champagne
Lots of confetti and pop-its an crackers

Eat until midnight ... start about 4pm. At midnight make all the noise in the world and drink champagne and cider while watching the Times Square replay. Fireworks if any are left over from the 4th. Then smash the gingerbread things we made for Christmas (this year is a Starship Enterprise, the Coliseum, a castle, and a house ... and the friends we invited over brought a train). Then put the food away and leave the mess for the morning. Spend a few football games picking up confetti on New Year's Day.
