Friends coming for dinner

What are you doing at the end of the year? A few of my friends asked. It is one of the occasions where nobody wants to stay home alone. It is also one of those rare occasions when we realize how few friends we really have. I mean friend whom you think worthwhile to be with on New Year’s eve. People whom you like to kiss and greet “Happy New Year” right after the countdown.


“Why don’t you come over?” I asked. “I will gather a few friends for buffet dinner.”

It is always an honor when friends come over. No, it is not a trouble for me at all. I don’t live next door to them. In fact, to come here, they have to drive 50 km in the cold and slippery road. They also have to battle the night for same distance back home. So when they visit me, I feel so privileged. I do not have caviar nor expensive champagne. But I offer whatever best I could. So what if I have to go a few rounds at the supermarket or prepare some food? My friends are coming for dinner !
