The piece recalls festive mishaps from fruitcake to tree stands and describes a weary ritual of attending New Year’s Eve galas, awkward revelations, and the curse of hosting a chaotic afterglow. The narrator jokes about steering home through a sea of inebriated guests and ends with a chosen retreat to a Kentucky motel for New Year’s Eve solitude.
