How did you spend the night of 31st December...?

Hello Everyone, I am new here, I liked the site very much. The New year was great, we all were around the table with my family and watched TV programmes. My wife and mother prapred deleciouce foods and salats. so it was great to see the gathered family around the table. Moreover, my aunt and uncle have visited us on that day.

you know what, i dont really felt the atmosphere of 2011. i dont really welcome the new year, happily. i am here in the kitchen setting the table and preparing the foods while they were stay in the garden, watching the fireworks, shouting and enjoying.. i promise i will welcome the 2012, very happy :(

I was just in the house at the night of 31st of December.The whole family is present at that time, we cook foods for midnight, we watch movies and busy chattering with each others, laughing and we prepare some fireworks to welcome the new year.

just sleeping... i am not that night person. at 10 pm i will get sleepy. so i just sleep like the ordinary night.

We had a wonderful New Years Eve. We had a large gathering at my church. We're really a small church, like a big family. We had a lot of food, as usual around here ;) Then we played games and visited with each other untill 11:30 when we went into the sanctuary and all had a time of prayer. We prayed in the New Year, thanking God for the year past and asking Him to bless the New Year. It was a very emotional time, as each of us prayed for our families and loved ones and just asked God to guide us through the New Year. We ended our prayers about 5 minutes after New Years. Then it was more food and fellowship for a while before we left the church. A perfect way to start the New Year.

I spent my 31Dec10 (New years Eve) with my family! We usually dining out and watching fireworks in Mall Of Asia (Manila Philippines);)

Haha...I actually slept right through the night of December 31st. I had been working every single day because of the holiday season so I was really tired after getting off of work that day. I went home and just crashed. By the time I woke up again it was past midnight when my brother came home. Apparently, it even ended up snowing that night which is rare around here and I had to miss out on it. It really felt like just another day for me. I don't think the new year has kicked in for me yet.

I went to the casino.. actually 2 of them.. Played High Stakes Bingo in one... and won some money in the other.. I was on a slot machine when the countdown happened... I don't really care much about holidays.. so it was just another day for me... I did come home with a little extra money in my pocket though so the year started off good. :-)

hello, I spend the 31st of December at work. I got shift that night of 31st of December. Before that,i went to my friend's house to celebrate the day before new year. Then off to work. The clock strikes 12 midnight of December,we start our work too while watching fireworks from the glass window. The good thing is,on January 1,2011 after my shift,it's my day off,so i spend the whole day with my kids,and have some fun with them. Happy New Year

ya .. during dec.31 night... i spent at home. excatly at 12'o clock, i wake up mu mother, and told my first wishes to her.... its happy moment to me

My hubby and children were busy with fireworks. Actually I am not so interested in fireworks. they consumes money also. Actually I was so angry. But i didn't show it out. I helped them. I was so sick. I could not help stopping to go to the doctor. so I went to the doctor. the medicines were so expensive. I never let my heart to worry for these sort of sentiments. I have always hopes. My heart was always praying to god the whole day long.

I spent the night of 31st december in our home with my family. It is a tradition in our family to be together during special ocassions. At first we attended the mass and after that we helped each other by preparing and cooking the foods for the media noche. When it is already 12am of jan 1, everybody was making noise, had some fireworks, some children were jumping, having some parties, clubbing, throwing some coins inside the house, wearing polka dots, having 12 round fruits in the table, hams, etc. The good thing in celebrating the new year is you are with your family when the new year enters.

I was lucky enough to be able to spend it with family and friends. I own a karaoke/dj business, so we had a blast and got paid for it. Plus, the food at the restaurant was great, and no major issue's. I tend to think that family and friends are more what the holidays are about, so, even though it was work, it was something I wish all could enjoy.
