Funny People Doing for Nye Dances in Real Life
After the last almost two years, you deserve to rouge up your cheeks, put on something sparkly and have a glass of something bubbly.
New Year's Eve is upon us once again, with plenty of festive options, from the fancy to the casual. And here's hoping the evening will usher in a better-feeling, less anxious 2022. Cheers to that.
