Do you find yourself in a panic every New Year's Eve because everyone's counting down and Billy Crystal has yet to explain all of the reasons why he's madly in love with you?

No? Oh okay -- me neither.

But the final holiday of the year can put a lot of unnecessary pressure on people. We want to end and begin each year with a bang -- this often means the perfect outfit, an amazing soiree and the midnight kiss that will sweep you off your feet.
