Best New Year's Toast Ideas for 2010

These are five New Year's Toast ideas that you are free to borrow if you would like to get a laugh to start the New Year.

1. Toasting to not getting pregnant. My friend claims that babies are the 2009 accessory of choice. Everyone seems to have gotten pregnant this year so you may feel lucky to have escaped that little mishap. Not that babies are not a blessing and totally adorable. Baby in the same year the economy decided to fail? Probably not the best idea. I remember this acquaintance who felt the need to toot her own horn because she had no children; she thought she was a role model for that single fact. We laughed at her and ridiculed her self praise. Maybe she was on to something.

2. Toasting to being fabulous. Well why not. I mean, everybody cannot be fabulous and if you are, why not let everyone else know it? Maybe it falls under the whole tooting your own horn category. So what if you have to deal with your friends rolling their eyes and calling you out for being full of yourself? It is a New Year right? So how can it hurt to bring in the year by reminding your friends how great you are and why they should want to keep you in their life for a whole other year. Now go ahead and try this one and let me know how it works. I don't think I am brave enough to venture into that territory yet. My friends can be mean sometimes.

3. Toasting to not going to jail. This should go without explanation but I will explain any way. Again with the economy being so bad, police are suffering too. They may find opportunities to throw people in jail for any reason to be able to pay their rent that month. In a way, I don't blame them. People should not be walking in the snow with flip flops anyway. I definitely don't need to give them any ideas but I'm just saying. I'm sure they do it to help us. Throw people in jail in order to better their own lives. Right? So what if they get paid at others expense. Their family has to eat also.

4. Toasting to alcohol. I don't drink myself but I am sure many people are grateful for those liquor bottles which helped them to get through many nights. Maybe even the New Year's eve party itself would be a drag if it was not for the awesome bar that has every single drink that you could ever possible thing of. I am not encouraging drinking or saying that you need to burry your problems at the bottle of a bottle. However, be thankful that you made it through the year with your liquor and maybe your New Year's resolution could be to quit drinking.

5. Toasting to life. Yes, I decided to get serious on this one. Make a toast to being alive and being experience life even though you may have some not so great moments. Many people do not get to experience life so we should be grateful that we get to do so. In your life toast, make sure to toast your awesome friends who help you get through it with your head on straight. Family is also important. You could be he sucker at the party who has everyone pulling out tissues and wiping their eyes. Don't you love those moments? I sure do.

I hope that you find my list helpful or at least entertaining. Hopefully you can come out with some great toast ideas of your own and if you would like to share them, feel free to do so!
