On New Year's Eve, I got the flu and my sister had no plans. My parents couldn't have been happier. They lit the fireplace, laid out a big blanket, brought down pillows, told us to get into our PJs, and brought out a deck of playing cards.
I could barely keep my eyes open past 10pm, but I did manage to realize that this was all far better than a fancy party or glitzy event.
My parents know how to entertain.
