Once upon a time, there was a New Year's party of 2023 in the town of Happyville. The people of Happyville decided to celebrate with a big bash, complete with champagne, fireworks, confetti, party hats, and masks.

Everyone was so excited for the countdown to begin. But when they set the timer, they realized that it was broken! They had no way of knowing when the New Year would arrive.

Just then, a little girl named Lily had an idea. She suggested that they use her pet cat, Mr. Whiskers, as a timer. Mr. Whiskers was known for his love of napping and could sleep for exactly one hour.

So, everyone gathered around Mr. Whiskers and watched as he dozed off. When he woke up, it was time for the New Year! The fireworks lit up the sky, the champagne flowed, and the confetti and party hats flew everywhere.

Everyone was having such a great time that they didn't even notice that their masks had fallen off. Suddenly, they realized that they had been dancing and celebrating with each other all night long, without knowing who was behind the mask!

It was a funny and memorable New Year's party that everyone in Happyville would never forget. The end.
