Tonight, I have just one request of you — treat yourself well. Fine food, good wine, pure enjoyment. Eat to your heart’s content, drink to your heart’s content, celebrate to your heart’s content. Step into the new year with a vibrant, flourishing spirit, and leave the darkness of 2022 fully behind — especially those heavy moods and weary feelings. Do not carry them across the threshold into the new year.
And don’t forget to raise a glass on my behalf.
Happy New Year, my dear family.
