What can I say? After watching the liveaction Jim Carrey film How the Grinch Stole Christmas over the weekend and listening to the audio of the complete 1966 broadcast of said story narrated by Boris Karloff on KNON’s Reckless Rock Radio on Sunday night, I’m in a Dr. Seuss sort of mood. If you choose to stay home this New Year’s Eve, we don’t blame you. Every Who in Whoville will be out on the streets, so please be careful (#DontDrinkandDrive). For those ready to get out there and celebrate, there are options all across North Texas. Here are just a few.

But Wait, There’s More Happening This NYE! How was your Christmas? My long holiday weekend was two days of sheer chaos followed by doing absolutely nothing on Boxing Day. Between refills of Irish coffee and google searches for return policies, clearance sales, and sausage-ball recipes, I watched my final Christmas movie of the season on Sunday evening — Klaus (three stars, would watch again) — and then searched for more NYE events for this column. Here is what I found. You’re welcome.
