"Party Like It's 1969!"; plus five New Year's wishes
>
AMC sez, "Party Like It's 1969": This is no ordinary New Year's libation. It's the Mad Men Champagne Cocktail.

From the folks at Mad Men Social Club (links onsite):
The Mad Men Cocktail Guide: Party Like It's 1969!
Want to make this evening's New Year's Eve bash a memorable one? Ditch the pedestrian champagne flutes and mix things up with the Mad Men Cocktail Guide. From Gimlets to Greyhounds, Mai Tais to Manhattans, you'll find inspiration, ingredients, and instructions that'll have you ready for a midnight toast to remember all year long. So when it's time to belt out "Auld Lang Syne," raise your Sidecar, your Old Fashioned, your French 75 . . . and welcome 2015 in style.
Meanwhile, AMC continues Sunday-morning Mad Men encores, this weekend finishing up Season 2 and dipping into Season 3, meaning we're introduced to Lane (links onsite).
What can Maddicts expect? Roger proposes to Jane (Season 2, Episode 11, “The Jet Set”); Peggy requests Freddie‘s old office (Season 2, Episode 12, “The Mountain King”); Betty breaks the news to Don that she’s pregnant (Season 2, Episode 13, “Meditations in an Emergency”); and Lane Pryce is introduced (Season 3, Episode 1, “Out of Town”). . . .
Mad Men encores air Sundays at 6AM/5c.
Anyone wanna bet on how Roger and Jane's marriage works out?
FIVE WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR
1. World peace, and decent living conditions for all -- oh yes, and good health to all.
2. Season 5 of Downton Abbey doesn't suck. (I just finished rewatching Season 4, which I hadn't enjoyed all that much, and was delighted to find that it's quite sensational, with almost every character involved in powerful basic-life-needs plots.)
3. Pepperidge Farm makes it possible to buy yummy Lido cookies separately again. (Not those yucky coconutty Tahiti thingies.)
4. I mentioned about world peace and decent living conditions and good health for all, didn't I?
5. I mentioned about the Lido cookies, didn't I?
That's not asking for an awful lot, is it?
Happy New Year, everyone, and thanks for reading. If persistent reports are accurate, once this year is in the can, there's another one ready to be rolled out which is likely to be pretty much the same. Oh well.
