This New Year’s, why not skip the raucous revelry and noisemakers? Invite a few close friends to ring in the new year with an easy, intimate party at home
Tip: For an easy party favor, pack up black-eyed peas (which bring good luck, according to southern tradition) and a recipe (go to www.realsimple.com/blackeyedpeas) in colorful boxes ($3 each, the Container Store, www.containerstore.com). Your auld acquaintances will thank you.
