If anyone here lives in Pennsylvania...
Our gang is considering going to City Island for New Years Eve...

They have a "strawberry" drop; fireworks and lots of stuff for the kids~

Looks like a good time Morelia. Thanks for sharing. I have a brother in Oakdale. Not sure if that is near this place or not.

Dh and I usually spend every NYE like this:

Dh: What do you want to do?
Me: I don't know, what do you want to do?

Lather, rinse repeat for three hours until we're both so frustrated because it's NYE and we're young and we feel like we should be doing "something" but neither of us knows what that "something" is. We live in a smallish town so your NYE options are usually bars (so not the scene for either of us) OR going to the town "First Night" celebration which is a total boring snooze fest.

Then, eventually, we'll both be so disappointed and frustrated that we'll end up snapping at each other. I can't count the number of times we've started the New Year with an argument.

SO, this year, we've got a few extra dollars and I made reservations at a hotel in a nearby larger town. So, we'll probably take in a movie, go out to a nice dinner and then retire back to the hotel where we'll hit the hotel bar and then spend the rest of the evening in the hot tub!

At midnight I jump into the New Year from a chair and kiss my family/friends and we form a circle and dance and sing Auld Lang Syne and then watch the London fireworks on TV.

Sunshine, that really sounds like alot of fun. We'll be here as we usually are watching the ball go down in NY city. This year I'll probably be up alone since Bob is still healing from his surgery, I'll wake him at 11:30 so we can see the ball. I'll also be on the chat to wish everyone a new year & count down together as we did Christmas.

This New Year's Eve was probably the worst I've been too normally we go to a paty but this year we went to a family friends house who don't have many friends so it was like 5 different families in the room and all we did was chat. Hopefully next year will be better

That's kind of a bummer...Did you have a nice dinner there or some wonderful appetizers? Was there any champagne flowing? I personally stayed home but that's what I wanted to do anyhow.

For NYE we go out to the lake - we have a trailer at the lake where we spend our weekends in the summer. We have become really great friends with our neighbors out there. Our landing is a seasonal landing, so we have no water in the winter. For NYE most of our neighbors come back to the lake (we bring water in 5 gallon buckets so we are able to flush the toilet) & we all walk up to the little bar that's just down the road from our landing. It's such a great time! It's always great to see everybody again ~ Our water is turned off out there on Nov. 1st, so by the time NYE rolls around, we haven't seen the lake neighbors for 2 months. We go from seeing them every Friday, Saturday & Sunday to not seeing them for 2 months...it's a joyous reunion!! Lol!!
:dance:

New years eve isn't really a big deal in my house. Even though it is my birthday. We spent the evening at home. Although, I did get to pick where we went to eat!

Hi Annette1990 ~ I am with you about not being able to do it everyday!! One night is good, but more than that might be "rough"! :lol: We're so spoiled..... We are so fortunate to have such wonderful & fun people as our neighbors at the lake. We have a great time....water or no water!! :smile:
