"Of course not, I just thought it would be nice to have a lively New Year. My parents love having a full house. Back in college, I used to invite classmates who couldn't go home for the holidays." Sylvia chuckled, "Thanks, but that's alright. New Year's is just another holiday for me, a good chance to take a break."

Milanda nodded reluctantly. "Alright then, you've been working hard all year. You deserve some rest."
