We are suppose to go to my aunt's for a family gathering. New years there is always a great time.
But...DH is working tomorrow until 3. He wants to come home and nap of course. But when we are suppose to be driving to the party is when it's suppose to be freezing rain.
We will wait and see if weather changes. But if it's ice out there we are not going.
I have to work on the 2nd first day back since 21st.
We can stay at my aunt's just I was hoping to drive home that night but again weather may not permit.
So what are you doing

I think my boys and a girlfriend are coming over for dinner NYE. We're having steak and mashed potatoes. My husband has to work both Monday and Tuesday, so no going anywhere.

Steak and seafood here at home for DH and I. Our oldest was going to come home and join us but she got a better offer from her D&D group so she's going out with them.
DS may or may not be here he didn't know yet, and our middle DD is 3 hours away and has plans.
We were going to fondue if okdest was coming home but it's too much work for just the two of us!
And then most likely bed by 10 or 11 - we are so old and lazy this week! Lol

I almost always hang out at home and ring in the new year with a kid or two.

We are celebrating our 25th anniversary! Our son is staying overnight at my mom's (their tradition the past 5 years) and we have dinner reservations at our favorite (Italian) restaurant and they are having a Venetian Carnivale theme for the night. I ordered us masks to wear. :-)
***Edited to add: Oh yeah, and NKOTB are performing on New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest! :-) Bonus!

We’re staying home with the kids. Usually we do appetizers, but I have a cold and our appetizers have to be made from scratch due to dd’s food issues (read: lots of work aka PIA). So I’m doing an easy meal of roast chicken, baked potatoes, and green beans.
We usually play games. I may not make it til midnight tomorrow though.

I have this newer friend. I have talked about her on Peas before. Anyway, I was out for coffee with her and BFF and she asked what we are doing tomorrow night and none of us have plans. Now I can say we have plans. We are going to eat ourselves silly at her house and have a great time. That is fun!

I stay home and have for years. (Been to the parties, bars, board games at friends, etc... in the past).
I picked up take out this evening(enough to last for a couple days). Pickup a couple dvd's at the library earlier today. Have a book to read. Have a fancy dessert.
I plan to spend the next couple days and evenings..... relaxing, reading, watching movies, eating, puttering around home, etc.... I will watch the New Years Eve coverage on TV.

My sister, brother and their families come over. My in-laws usually come over for a few hours too. Eating and playing Spoons--the cousins are brutal!-- are always the highlights of the night. We toast in the New Year with sparkling cider and everyone goes home.

We are going to our neighbors as we have for the past 6-7 years now. They throw a good party and it’s close. They usually start it early so we are typically home by about 10 so that’s always nice. We celebrate the ball dropping at 9! I don’t think we have an weather issues tomorrow. I do have to work until 430 so that’s put a little kink in our regular plans (new job, I didn’t use to work NYE).

We stay home now in large part to how dangerous the roads in Houston have become. We have a nice dinner and open some champagne. DH usually goes to sleep in his office until after 11:30 pm and then gets up to ring in the New Year. I think that makes us officially old!  |

I am in a new town and in a pretty new relationship. We plan to go and see my guy’s daughter/husband/granddaughter for an early dinner and then head to downtown Pittsburgh for a bagpipe and drum performance at one of their historic churches.
He had asked if I wanted to stick around for fireworks at midnight but I do not. On New Year’s Eve 1996, I was involved in an accident while pregnant with my daughter.
It was not my fault but I was desperately worried about losing the baby. I would like to be home in my PJs before midnight.

Going to my sister's house to celebrate with all my family we will play games, then a Texas Hold Em tournament. We are doing snack/finger food so I am making crockpot meatballs and a cheese ball along with Apple Pudding Cake for dessert.

Nothing planned for tomorrow, really. It is supposed to do a winter weather mix thing all day tomorrow. Maybe snow, maybe rain, maybe freezing rain-- they can't tell and probably won't really know until it's actually happening.
Tuesday, we're going to go see Bumblebee (Transformers) and then go to Chili's for dinner.

It's now 6:10pm on NYE, and in 20 minutes I will be heading off to a Greek restaurant to meet friends for My Big Fat Greek Banquet!  Sadly, not in Greece. |

To quote from an old sketch comedy that is shown here every year on NYE - 'The same procedure as every year!'
DH will make a bunch of small, tapas style dishes, and we will eat them over the course of the evening with champagne or prosecco. Sometime during the evening, he will also get the fireworks ready.
At about 11:45, we'll go out to our street corner, where there will be many others with the same idea. Starting just before 12, we will set off fireworks for as long as they last! With so many neighbors out, we usually get a good 20 minutes or more, if people stagger their big ones.
By 12:30, we will be back inside and trying to sleep, but it won't completely quietn down until at least 1am.

We’ll be celebrating our sixth anniversary! Actually we’ll probably be asleep at midnight when it’s our actual anniversary. We’re grilling steaks and having twice baked potatoes and a vegetable or green salad with it.
For the past four years we went to a gala at a hotel which included dinner, a great band, an overnight stay and brunch, but the hotel was sold and they didn’t book the awesome band so we opted out this year.

We celebrated at the senior citizens center last night. Tonight were staying home in pjams, playing board games, watching movies, doing face masks, and making almond and goat cheese stuffed dates, jalapeno dip with homemade pretzels, baked brie, hummus and naan and broccoli salad.
Two of my boys will be home and weve got a girlfriend joining us too. Should be fun. I might be in bed before midnight.

DH & I host an annual Euchre tournament, its a kid friendly gathering this year. There are 12 card players this year and another 6 or so coming plus 9 kids. We have other games as well. Should be fun.

Celebrating like a 12 year old. Alternating between playing video games, texting friends, building Lego and eating bad food.
