New Years Eve?

[Zonny]

So what are you all doing for New Years?

Historically, DH and I are asleep at midnight (and DS is asleep WAY before we are). Last year we went to a party at our nearby recreation centre, they opened the pool, gym, etc. when you bought a ticket, you could swim, play basketball, etc. It was fun, over around 8. This year though, a friend I made while on mat leave invited us to her home for a potluck, as well as several other families who we all met the same way, so most of our kids are around the same age. I doubt we'll make it to midnight, but it will be fun! I'm doing a ham in one slow cooker (for the first time), baked beans in another.

We'll probably stop up until mid-night with the brood. Mr P will be first-footing for me as usual with at least one of the hatchlings.

We do Chinese take out at a friends with all our kids and spouses. It started years ago as a kid free potluck and has morphed into this as we have all become parents. The kids could last longer than the parents now. Midnight is just too late for me.

Still on Maui with the family. New Years eve will be a lot more laid back then last year when we were on Waikiki Beach enjoying the fireworks with a few thousand other revelers.

Dh and I will just be staying in this year. Still have my cold and don't want to pass it around. We'll enjoy some finger foods, watch a movie, anfd if by some miracle we're still awake near midnight we'll do the countdown with tv

We were supposed to go out of town for a hockey game, but getting 40cm of snow today/tonight, we think we'll just play it safe & stay in town. We'll watch the game online & probably order food/make something.

Having a party here. So listening to music , playing card games. Lots of finger foods and friends so should be lots of fun

We are hosting some friends an my db. My dh does a magnifico dinner and then we'll chat, laugh, watch TV open Christmas gifts - since we haven't seen each other since Christmas. FUN!

I'm staying in this year and having people over...looking forward to it. We're gonna watch some movies, eat pizza, have lots of snacks and watch the countdowns...Dick Clark and Toronto City Hall and of course drink to celebrate the year that passed and the new year ahead.

I like to go out while DW does not so once again we are compromising and staying home.

We might go to a movie if we've recovered enough from our colds and end the evening with a shot of cremant or cava. At least New Year's it's a prime rib.

Going out for a New Year's Eve buffet and then coming back home with my SIL and BIL and their children.
