54321 HAPPY NEW YEAR

Five easy steps to Auld Lange Syne.

Get ready. You are an Emily Post-caliber host or hostess with a Swiss Army knife that boasts a bar spoon and ice tongs. That's right--you're the one throwing the party this year. Let the countdown begin.

STEP 1. PREP YOUR FRIENDS

You love them, and no doubt look forward to scooping them off your furniture in the glare of New Year's morning. As a reward for good humor, the adoring host or hostess with a small dinner party on their hands might consider the exquisitely printed, hand-bound Italian 2005 calendar ($35, Oblation Papers and Press, 516 NW 12th Ave., 223-1093) as a party favor for each of their treasured attendees. While you're at it, stage a mix-tape or -CD potluck as well: Not only will the guests provide the soundtrack to the evening, they'll cross-pollinate with each other in ways that don't require a new slipcover for your favorite couch.

STEP 2. TRICK OUT THE BAR

Unless your neighborhood bartender college is doing internships through house parties, tonight is your time to shine. Stop by the book table at Urban Outfitters (2320 NW Westover Road, 248-0020) to peruse the cheat-sheet options: The Big Bad-Ass Book of Shots (Running Press, $12.95) is comprehensive to the point of science fiction, while Jiggelo: Inventive Gelatin Shots for Creative Imbibers (Ten Speed Press, $12.95) comes complete with pictures for the fledgling mixologist. Add some derring-do to your cocktail with the controversial new vodka Ciroc--made from "snap frost" grapes instead of grain or potato, sure to ruffle some alco-purist feathers. New on the mixer market, Pom (flavored pomegranate juice) and Izze (sparkling fruit juices) could also glamorize your efforts and would be available on the same high-end grocery run. Further refine your moves with Decades' art-deco cocktail set and chrome martini shaker ($95-$175, Decades Vintage Company, 328 SW Stark St., 223-1177), which will be the sexiest thing at the bar--besides yourself, of course. Ditto the rabbit ambulance shot glass from Achewood ($6, www.achewood.com) for most charming, featuring a white, bounding ambulance against a red background.

STEP 3. TRICK OUT THE HOUSE

If you want your place looking sparkly and festive, there's nothing like lighting a baby's head on fire--as long as it's a glittering blue baby-head candle ($7-$12, Reading Frenzy, 921 SW Oak St., 274-1449). Pacifica scented candles ($7.95-$34.95, Pharmaca, 2334 NW Burnside St., 226-6211) offer an olfactory experience so sensuous they should come with their own rating system. Japanese lantern-style string lights ($25, Pistils Nursery, 3811 N Mississippi Ave., 288-4889) also make a nice accent. For conflict resolution, plastic crusade swords are a must ($2.50, Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., 228-4651), especially in case of a tie in one of the 40 Drinking Games ($12.95, Bee and Thistle, 2328 NW Westover Road, 222-3397) that should be attempted throughout the evening. You may also opt to install the unbelievably garish penis piñata ($19.95, The Jelly Bean, 721 SW 10th Ave., 222-5888) in a large room for midnight assault. Possible favors could include little plastic babies ($1.30 each, Finnegan's Toys & Gifts, 922 SW Yamhill St., 221-0306), "Wipe Your Sins Away!" towelettes (90 cents each, Little Finnegan's, around the corner) and dirty Valentine-style message hearts (individually wrapped, 25 cents each, Spartacus, 300 SW 12th Ave., 224-2604).

STEP 4. CALL IN REINFORCEMENTS

Once the house is full of props and the cabinet is stocked with booze, what's left? The finer details of your made-over crash pad's ambience can be left in the hands of a couple of professionals. Call the über-hip florists behind Origin Flowers (1526 NE Alberta St.,775-9599) for advice. They can cater to just about any request (with 24 hours' advance notice) or offer expert guidance from the comfort of their cozy flower shop/gallery/boutique.

To avoid buying Korbel again this year, consider a new twist on the old toast. Spankin' new sweet-and-savory place Bar Pastiche (3731 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 236-4760) offers Mont-Marcal Cava Brut Reserva ($20), a Spanish sparkling wine. It also offers delicacies like tuna-stuffed peppers, bleu-cheese truffles, and salt-and-pepper cookies. If your party population borders on brawl size, consider Martinottis' Café, Delicatessen and Premium Wine Merchant (404 SW 10th Ave., 224-9028) for an impressive catering menu of solid Italian soul food and any sandwich you can conceive, not to mention a wine and champagne selection and a little shop chock-full of knee-weakening chocolates.

STEP 5. WAIT UNTIL MIDNIGHT

Make sure you're dressed the part. For the ladies, a fine pair of party-durable fishnets ($12.50-$15, Banana Republic, Pioneer Place, 228-8346, and other locations) can be paired with a vintage dress and frowsy mock-vintage apron ($24, Anthropologie, 1115 NW Couch St., 274-0293) for the happy-hostess look. Gents, the apron would do well for you, too--as would your favorite pinstripe shirt and a teetering, jumbo red felt fez ($19.95, Little Finnegan's) for an appearance of congenial elegance. Indoor heat permitting, you could also attend bare-skinned with the Liss professional cream whipper ($44.99, Sur La Table, 1102 NW Couch St., 295-9679) in tow--as if anyone needed an excuse to lick you.

Prep yourself with two parts vodka, one part name tags and one part Sharpie. Stir.

has looked high and low for cool places (like hotels, restaurants, and family-friendly mountain tops) as well as hot spaces (like clubs, pubs and other watering holes) to help you plan a spectacular New Year's Eve. But remember, celebrations can always change course, so please call

for reservation information and hours.
