Last New Year’s Eve, I decided I would try something bold. I promised myself I would eat only kale, run five miles every morning, and finally learn how to fold a fitted sheet. By 12:05 AM, I had already broken two of those resolutions. But hey, at least I managed to stay up past midnight!

Since I survived that, I am passing the joy along to you with this wild collection of jokes that will keep your New Year bright, silly, and unforgettable.
