Call us crazy, but Christmas, Hannukah, 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?" But 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!
COUNTDOWN: T-10 Days
Who: Chloe Mackey
What Do You Do At OC: Writer at the OC Blog
Favorite Party Anthem: Honestly, just put on Kane West and call it a night.
Best NYE Memory: I got in a fight with a kid who always made fun of me for being "weird" at a NYE party in 8th grade. He never made fun of me after that.
How Are You Celebrating This Year: I'll be home in Alabama, so definitely watching South Park in bed and fantasizing about returning to NY the next day.
How Many Drinks Is Too Many On NYE: To quote Mean Girls...
At Midnight: Text, Call, Kiss, Or Drink: Drink, the rest of those options are VERY risky.
Best New Year's Day Hangover Remedy: Burger King, Tylenol, and some really #raw tweets.
Number Of New Year's Resolutions Kept: You can't keep resolutions you never made in the first place.
2015 New Year's Resolution: World domination, duh.![]()
