Call us crazy, but Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa... it seems like those frontrunners get the marquee, and New Year's Eve ends with the short stick. Why is it that December 31 rings in like an afterthought, and we just wind up with the canned response: "My New Year's was sh*tty—how was yours?" Well, your friends at OC want to change that. Here, we present you a special "Twelve Days Of New Year's" series, where each day 'til 2015, styled-out staffers dish on what they're getting up to on NYE—ball drop or not. Stay safe, kids!
