Season's Greetings

The official start date of winter may not be until December 21, but with the Midwest doused with heavy snowfall and the East Coast about to get hit with the same storm; it’s safe to say winter has come early, and in a big way.

By now if you haven’t heard of the collapse of the Minneapolis Metrodome due to a massive amount of snowfall then your eyes and ears may just be filled with the very same flakes that took down the 64,000 seat arena. And while Christmas is known for its chilly repertoire of Frosty the Snowman and “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open fire,” we can understand why all you snowbirds out there are yearning for a little sun and surf. So pack on up and come down to Miami for NYE 2011!

WEBSITES
Don't Let History Pass By

The icy breeze that not even shoulder to shoulder stiffness can bring warmth to. The vibrant multicolored streamers, confetti and blissful celebration that's heard at the strike of midnight around the world. Traditions are different but the countdown is not.

All take notice of New Year's Eve, and for good reason. The new year brings a new beginning, change and the hope that this year could be the year.

The ball drop's 1907 premiere in Times Square marks the headquarters on where to tune in on Dec. 31. Others are rejoicing in every direction though and hopefully, EarthCam will be back for its 15th year in broadcasting what all have to offer.

Must Have Additions To Your Outfit This New Year's Eve

1. Flats once “heel time” runs out

Let’s face it ladies, as much as we love what those 5 inch platforms do for our posture, legs and butt, the “heel time” on them is about 2 hours tops, less if you’re standing the entire time. A necessary addition to your clutch will be some type of disposable flat so that you’re not battling blisters on your feet for the next week. Try to space out how much time you’ll be seen wearing them and try to find a seat somewhere, even for five minutes at a time. Once the ball drops, throw on those flats and party the rest of the night away comfortably.

Kiss & Tell

The recession may be a thing of the past, a bruise on the economy that is still in the healing process, but this doesn’t mean we should all forget the lessons learned about spending beyond our means. How then does a man impress the girl of his dreams to snag that coveted NYE kiss? One word fellas – chivalry! Despite popular belief, it’s not dead, but alive and kicking. And what’s even better? Good manners are completely free. You can make that lucky girl feel like a million bucks without even spending a dime. So skip the expensive dinner and two dozen roses (a single long stem will suffice) and pull out her chair and open the door for her every chance you get. Tell her she’s beautiful and remember to treat everyone around you with kindness as well. So if you don’t want to be the guy standing all by his lonesome as the ball drops, ditch the pride and eat a big ole’ slice of humble pie, followed by a breadth mint of course.
