Maybe staying up until 11 and having a Breaking Bad marathon... We just started watching and have gotten through most of Season 1. DD1 will have a friend over on New Years day and I have to go into work on the 2nd. DS might have a sleepover, too somewhere in there. Otherwise, I'll just try to catch up, and maybe even get ahead a little bit. Yes, indeed, I live on the edge.

Getting my drunk on! Going to a friend's who's having buffet style dinner and a party. We always have so much fun at their house so we are really looking forward to it. A bunch of us women are going out to dinner on the 30th in Orlando to practice for the big night.

I don't know. I will be at yoga in the morning and cardio tennis at noon. After that I plan on hiding out from the drunk drivers. Getting a good night's sleep and waking to a fresh, brand new sparkling year. I start a new year with eating healthy all day and early morning exercise to set the tone for the coming year.
Years ago, New Years Day was for ice fishing. DH's tradition but that has changed with unstable ice the past several years.
Edit: Snowmobiling in the Black Hills. I am overcoming my fear. I was left on the trail about 3 yrs. ago and did not do "lost" well. DS said take a charged up phone and a map.

Oh, and I'm probably not doing anything for New Years unless my Aunt is throwing a Farkle party like she does a lot. She only lives a half mile away and the kids can crash there if they can't make it to midnight.

NOTHING!
DD1 usually invites me over but she is 15+ mi away and I will NOT share the roads w/all the drunks at 1 or 2 am. people who never drink do drink on NYE. I will most likely be asleep by 10 pm. Yes, I am boring.

I have always had a hard time feeling like the New Year begins in the dead of winter.

I have always had a hard time feeling like the New Year begins in the dead of winter. I always feel like the new year starts in March for the gardening season and then again in September for the start of the new school year. Conversely, I always feel like June is the end of my year. Typically, that's when I think about having another kid, because I'm "done" until September.

Yes, I feel like I am starting a new year either in the Spring or in Sept when school starts up again.

To me last night (the longest night of the year) is the end and now every day we're getting a couple more minutes of daylight. YAY!!!

DH is on call so we're keeping it low key as always. DD might have a friend over for a sleepover. Dinner will be either king crab legs or lobster/brie mac and cheese. Yea, I know - let the YM jokes begin .

I always host a small party for my kids and their friends. the friends sleep over and I make all appetizers instead of a real dinner. It will probably be some shrimp toast, hot baked pretzels, coconut shrimp, mozzeralla sticks, a cream cheese, black olive and scallion spread, and some dips along with crackers and chips. And everyone's favorite pigs in a blanket. There might be some last minute additions too. I have to get through Christmas Eve and Christmas day before I can't start thinking about that.

Superstitious that how you spend that night is for how the year will be. I like to spend with kids but now too far apart and other houses too small for everyone to stay over.
No plans this year. Not knowing what I want to do!

I'm going to a Redneck Surf and Turf party. Venison and walleye. I've never had walleye; I don't think I've ever seen it sold here, even frozen. With all the northerner traffic we get, you think someone would find a way to send some here. Venison is another matter. I love the filet rare served with the blackberry sauce, or as sausage. I've also had venison jerky, with different flavorings. ETA: No outside plans at all. Nice meal, some wine, and one unbreakable tradition: very good French champagne at midnight, using fine stemware.

For NYE we stay home and eat great food, play games, and relax.
