HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I hope everyone welcomed in 2022 in a lovely happy way, and of course my best wishes for all of my DCIB family in this new year. And now, let us begin it the RIGHT way, by watching Happy New Year the Movie.
Happy New Year
It’s on Netflix, it’s delightful, we’ve all seen it, what more is there to say?
At 8am Chicago time I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will all go from there!

LOL, I love Deepika pushing through the crowd of boys to challenge the Koreans, eloquently saying “YEUAGHHH.”
