do you like to go out? party? :yh_dance :yh_party quiet evening at home? :yh_angel sleep through it? :yh_sleep

Working. Otherwise I would ring in the New Year quietly at home.

I will be spending quiet evening at home with my 8 year old daughter.

I try my best togo to bed before it gets here and to avoid all the hoopla. I find NYE depressing. I don't like goodbyes is probably why. I've celebrated a few times but it's not my thing. Sometimes I'll be up late doing something and I'll accidentally see it come in but it's not a big occasion for me.

I have a stash of fireworks i brought back from tennessee...sooooo..........

I will be chatting online with some of my rottweiler friends.

I might have a glass of wine.



While most years, it is no big deal - this time it is the first day of the rest of my life as a single woman. Ok, well maybe I won't stay a single woman - but you get my meaning.

It's sorta nice.

It's relaxing to have no pressure.

A glass of champagne, some Pink Floyd.........

Me?

I'll be watching the ball drop on Cartoon Network with the Son Of JacksDad.

And Red, he's 6.

We will be staying at home. Knowing me, I will probably be asleep in my chair long before midnight.

I will be shooting the guns off at midnight. Then I will be screamning in joy that this useless ####ing year is done, then go to bed and hopefully wake up 5 months later.

BR, 2007 HAS to be better! we need to see the back of 2006! :-4

Amen to that for the both of you BR and LC good times ahead in 2007.. !!

When we were younger, we used to go to NYE parties most every year! Both at House parties, as well as at resturaunt parties. One year we went to Times Square in NYC for NYE, and it was as brutal as it was fun! Once was enough! :wah:

Now a days, we go out to dinner 4 to 6 times a week, so we found that it is just not worth it to go out NYE. When resturaunts are overcrowded, overworked, food over cooked or undercooked, lousey service, & all for inflated NYE prices! So we tend to just go to "close family" parties, it's easier, safer, better.

We will go out to supper and than a dance with friends and family. Than we usually end up at a house party. I feel the hangover already.:-5

Ya trying to tough it up a bit. Maybe it won't hurt as much come New years day.

My niece is getting married NYE and Al is deejaying the reception. I dread the 30 mile ride home with the drunks on the road.

That will be a fun event for New Years Eve, Peg!

Excellent suggestion LC and one to consider since it will be late at night.. :driving: You can get an early start in the morning to drive home..

We're waiting to find out what time Al has to be at work. He may have to be there at 3a.m. so there will be no chance of staying there.

i will be rejoicing, have fun with my family and praise the lord that enable me reach the momnt.

I don't think i've been awake for one in the last 3/4 years -

Ive always hated New Years Eve. I dont think its happy, I think its sad. I did go to a great party once.... it was in 1972. But since then its just a regular night. In New York we say " Amateurs go out on New Years Eve". There couldnt be a worse time to be on the road, as the ocassion has always been connected with getting drunk. For whatever stupid reason...... Ill never know why.

New Year's Eve is a family event for me. My side of the family gets together and exchanges Chanukah and Christmas presents -- we order a ton of Chinese food and pizza and go to town!

I'm always home before midnight and hopefully, asleep as well. Hubby refuses to go to sleep until the ball drops in Times Square -- but by that time I should be in Dreamland

I dont know what we are doing yet, few options so will just decide on the day :-4

someone was sweet enough to give me a boxed set of the first 2 seasons of Rumpole of the Bailey, so i think i will snuggle down on the couch and start watching it.

Ours will just be another pleasant Sunday evening spent at home, knowing we do not have to work the next day.

Judging by the number of 'empties' here from Christmas I think I'd better spend the New Year drying out. :-3

I am working a late shift new years eve, then an early new years day. Totally reeks! But if I wasnt, it would be at home watching it come in on the telly. Snuggled up next to my Voodoo, watching the cool movies that are on.

Where do you work, Raven? I used to have a job like that....holidays were not automatically days off.

I am a nurse at Basildon Thurrock University Hospital. Even though I have been in health care for twenty years, it's still a bummer when I have to work the holidays. In the U.S. I am a respiratory therapist. But they dont have those here. Thats why I am off to get my english qualifications as a nurse.

:yh_bigsmi

we stay home every year.

we stay up until midnite, watch the ball drop and drink some champagne and then off to bed!:-6

We are going over to my son's house for New Years. The theme this year is pajama party. We're gonna play games and eat lots of shrimp and probably stay sober. Well some of us.

I still haven't decided what to do yet, what are you dressing up as Pinky?

I was thinking about making squirrel pie.
