I always feel a little sad New Years because Christmas is over. I am not super down and out, just a little blah. I try to make it special and have some family over early for dinner and games, nothing big. Just not as much fun as Christmas though! Lol.. Since the grandkids are under the age of 5 and are usually home and in bed before midnight, I let them have a New Years countdown around 8 pm. They wear party hats and have a toast with sparkling grape juice in plastic champagne glasses. I let them pop poppers and throw confetti. They love it!
New Years Day my hubby and I go to my job to feed the animals since we are closed for the holiday. That only takes about an hour then we go out to eat, come home and take down outdoor Christmas lights then just relax.
