I know Christmas hasn't come and went yet..but does anyone have any special plans for New Years Eve? We usually stay home...and watch Dick Clark...
It's always to cold here to get all dressed up and go out...plus I'd rather be home..safe and sound.

Well I use to go to my grandfather's and every New Years at the strike of twelve the ships over the docks would sound their horns and people would be dancing in the street, it was so much fun then, but now since my grampa has passed I normally stay home as I really cannot be bothered with it anymore.

For the New Year we always stay at home & have our neighbors over as we watch the ball come down. I ususally make a veg. tray, relish tray, chips & dips, & this year I'll make a sheet pizza. They have fireworks here downtown but there is to many people there, I'd rather just stay home.

We usually stay home. I do not want to be out on the roads with people drinking and driving. Also, it's really nice to stay home just the two of us for we enjoy each other's company.

:playing:My husband and I like a quiet night at home. I usually have appetizers, and we wait for the New Year! WE're invited to my niece's house. It would be nice to go if she lived closer, but with so many people on the roads, we feel safer at home.

Me and my wife watch some TV but she goes to bed early soon after the kids do. I stay up untill about 1155 having a few and then I go to bed before midnight becasue I like to spend every New Years I can with her because we aren't always here every year together for the holidays, sometimes one of us is overseas.

Not sure what will really happen this year. I want to celebrate as we usually do, so we'll stay at home watching the ball come down & have a New Year.

We have shrimp cocktail and other appetizers...
The kids make a "clock" cake and we have food galore!
We dance, play games and make alot of noise at midnight..

traditionally we burn a note with any thing we want to forget from the previous year

we eat 12 grapes hold 12 coins and toast at midnight along with the hug.

We try to cram alot in those 60 seconds! LOL:merry:I don't like to drive on New Years Eve...too dangerous!
