NEW YEAR’S EVE! Also known as Old Year’s Day or Saint Sylvester’s Day, New Year’s Eve is celebrated December 31st. As we count down the last hours and seconds of the old year, it is a good time to look back at the year and reminisce with friends and family. National Champagne Day is also 31st. While genuine champagne only comes from France’s Champagne region, there is plenty of bubbly available from Italy, California and even the South of France. Ringing in the New Year is the perfect reason to celebrate!
