That is not the same as wanting to stay in. Staying in is what happens when nobody plans anything, everyone drifts over at nine, and at ten past midnight people start looking for their coats. The good version of New Year's Eve at home takes about as much thought as booking a restaurant, and costs less than half. What a night out actually costs in Toronto Most restaurants switch to a fixed menu on the...]]></description><link>https://www.maisondesamis.co/post/new-year-s-eve-at-home-when-you-re-past-the-club</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aa1fec3f74f33298925566b</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:49:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/37bfb5_cb6b62b9e960476fabc430405c274bf1~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Maison des Amis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bachelorette party ideas in Toronto that aren't a club]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most brides in their thirties don't want a club, and the alternatives are badly served.

It is that a milestone birthday is the one party where you invite people from every separate part of your life at once. Work people, school friends, the couple from your street, your sister. They have nothing in common except you, and most of them have never met.
