No plans for me. It’s never been that big of a deal to me. I am more than happy to stay home. I’m working today, like every NYE day. Back to work Wednesday. I like just having it be a day off.
I’ll find something good on tv, or watch dvds, eat whatever I want, and enjoy 😊

We usually stay home and play games with the kids until we ring in the new year. Some years we have get togethers with friends, but I think we are going low-key this year.

My sister and her husband are in town to help me get my mom’s house cleaned out, so we’ll take a break tonight and go to The Melting Pot for dinner.

Going to the local hockey game, grab dinner after and be home by 11, most likely. Leaving town for a month tomorrow early, so I'm not interested in staying out super late.

My one daughter drove up to meet a friend in DC. My other daughter is supposed to be with friends and my son is deciding between two parties (for my introverted child who is NOT enjoying the socialness of college, this is the best gift for me ever!). So I will be blessedly and happily alone. ALONE!!!! I will sit on my new couch for a long, long time

I’ll be home alone and it will likely be like any other night.

I’ll be home alone and it will likely be like any other night. Some of my best holidays were alone 🙂 I hope you at least grab some of your favorite snacks, drinks and food. It doesn’t have to be sad. We will be grabbing some Chinese food and plan to watch the ball drop.

I took today off work and am getting ready to run a couple of errands. Thus afternoon I'm going to meet a friend for a matinee of Mary Poppins returns. Once I get back home it will be a solo (well, unless you count the cat) pajamas/couch/Netflix/snacks night - I'm looking forward to it.

I’m at the airport in SLC with my kids, waiting for a flight back to Seattle and watching the sun come up over the snow. It was just a quick visit to see my mom, who has leukemia, and some of my extended family. It was a nice visit, but emotionally and physically exhausting, and air travel ranks right after spiders on my hate-list. So when we get home I’m sleeping as long as I can. I don’t care about midnight at this point . Have a safe New Year!

Having Chinese food at DS & DDIL. Will play a card game after kids go to bed (3y/o an 11 mo). If we make it to midnight, it'll be the first time in a loooonnnnng time--LOL.

quiet here - we'll have appetisers (I hope - our stove is having some technical difficulties - might have to stick to the chips/dip and charcuterie board) and watch a movie (Fiddler on the Roof) and play some games and just hang out together.
New Years Day? I'll make a ham dinner (I think most of my menu can be made in the crockpots/roaster so that works)

The plan is to stay in and play games with my kids. One of them wanted to go out but for some reason it hasn't worked out with her friends. She will be at a Colorado Avalanche early tonight until about 9, then return home. Our weather is very cold and expecting 2-4 inches of snow so staying home seems the safest route and likely the most enjoyable route.

We typically are home on NYE, so nothing unusual for us tonight. Supposed to have a wintry mix of weather today and overnight so I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere.

We're staying in tonight and taking it easy at home tomorrow. DH had laparoscopic surgery on his knee this past Thursday, and is still pretty sore. Our celebration will be Chinese food takeout and TV.

The last couple of years we've gone to a friend's house and just hung out. But her dh has to work this year and honestly I didn't want to go anywhere. So we're hanging out in pjs with the kids, going to play some games, watch some 3 Stooges, and order from our local pizza place. I'm SO excited to just be able to spend the day in pjs and relax since we rarely get to do it.

We usually host a NYE party but I’m tired of doing it and we just want something low key..we bought a bunch of seafood and plan on cooking that and eating...maybe watching movies I’m sure.

The weather is not the best (wintery mix of freezing rain, rain , snow) and I hate crowds so we are staying home. Making french onion soup with appetizers and finishing off with chocolate brownie cake. DS wants to watch movies and chill.

I go to my mom's for New Years. DH came along this time because I reached out and BIL invited us to lunch with DH's sister and him during our visit. They live about 1.5 hrs from my mom. We were excited because we have not seen them for years and they normally make ZERO effort to get together.
Well sure enough, BIL calls the day before and unfortunately had to cancel. Seems his sister is dying so.... Of course we understand, no problem, another time, so sorry about the circumstances.......
Do I think his sister is dying? Truthfully, no. She may be ill. And maybe he's concerned she might die. But SIL did not call her brother, my DH. She had BIL do it. I think that he honestly talked her into it or made the offer thinking she was fine with it and she wasn't. I think SIL told him to cancel it and come up with a reason.
My DH said he's OK with it. Meant he had to sit around at my mom's an extra day. I am so cynical when it comes to them.
For New Years Day we will go to a local church for pork and sauerkraut then head out on our 6 hr drive home. We will stop at DS1's house to bring them pork and sauerkraut and a bunch of other stuff.
Will be sound asleep before midnight.

We got talked into leaving the house for a dinner at a super pricy fancy restaurant! (Everything is ala carte and prices start at $56 🤑🤑🤑 )
Hubby is already grumbling about it but wants to go. So we shall go and have a fabulous time.
It is torrential downpour raining right now, hope it lets up soon.
It’s a very late dinner seating so we’re sitting here in sweats just waiting around.
Tomorrow it’s football, food with family. Lounging and napping!!

I thought I might drag BFF out to a local bar where friends of our are playing for NYE, but her son made plans to go to his BFF's, leaving my BFF home with her elderly mother with dementia. Can't really blame her son though - he's on leave from the Army and goes back tomorrow evening. I don't really want to go out by myself (even though it's only a few miles from the house). DS is going to his friend's studio, so it'll just be me and the cat.
I have green chile spinach dip in the oven baking for nomming. Tomorrow is ham, BEPs, greens. I might make them tonight if I get a wild hair.
I'll be watching NYE on the TV and the coverage of New Horizons arrival at Ultima Thule on the computer.

The last of our holiday company left this morning so I spent the day cleaning bathrooms, changing beds, and getting the house back in order. Husband had to work today. I have to work tomorrow. So we opted for the two of us to just stay home tonight. I made homemade wings and dipping sauce. We'll find a good movie and almost certainly not make it until midnight. Lol. Happy new year's ashley. I hope you do end up enjoying your evening.
