New Years Eve....

i am so not a night person and end up hitting the pillow before midnight. last year we were at a party and i still was in bed by midnight (i had had a major infection that had landed me in the hospital shortly before christmas). my kids and hubby stay up, but i am usually sleeping by then.

I have not been awake to ring in the New Year since my son was born. New Years 2000 is the last time I bothered staying awake. We just stay home and have an every other night of the year night.

I don't like to go out for New Years. Too many people out there drinking and driving. I will invite some friends over and keep it pretty quiet. We let the kids stay up as late as they can. We play games.

We are homebodies too. Although, in our early married years we may have gone out to dinner (just the two of us) a few times. My partying days are over. We usually play games or watch a movie. It is tradition for us to go out on the front porch at midnight and scream at the top of our lungs "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" That started when the kids were little and they love the idea of "getting away" with something like that! A few years ago, our church had a board game night. There were tables set up all over the gym and anybody could play what they wanted. It was a lot of fun!

Thank you for yet another Best Response!

Well considering I am an old fogie I just go to bed and when I wake SURPRISE it's a new year.

My husband and I stay at home for New Years. We are not really party people, and prefer just staying at home. Sometimes we are both asleep when midnight comes. We will usually buy some rather festive snacks to have that evening, things we do not normally eat and just enjoy each others company.
