#55. Keep these tips in mind for a worry-free New Year's Eve.

12/29/20 • 35 min

In this episode, Aaron and Trishul reflect on past New Year's Eve celebrations, from staying up until midnight as a child to partying as an adult. But now that they have young kids, New Year's Eve is much tamer. Living on the West Coast, Aaron appreciates celebrating at midnight Eastern Time so he can get to bed at a reasonable hour. Given COVID-19 concerns, this year most households likely will "party" the same way as parents with young kids do; by staying home. Even so, there is one thing that we can all get excited about--it is that 2020 is officially over.
