Another year has come and gone and it sometimes causes us to reflect and wax philosophic on the year just past. Were goals met? Did we find the love of our lives? Did we land that job? What does it all mean?

Although the new year is a great time to take stock of these things in our lives, it’s also a cause for celebration. We survived another year! If you’re wondering what celebrations are happening in the Twin Cities, we offer a few choices today on 365, in case your plans fell through, or you haven’t yet made any. We’re here to help.
