What do you do for New Year's Eve?

Shawnee123 · 12-27-2009, 10:36 AM

Do you have plans for the big party?

My plans include: staying home and avoiding the crazies, staying home and avoiding the crazies, and staying home and avoiding the crazies.

Keryx and I are going to bed about 10:00 P.M. and wake up with out a hangover.

Shawnee123 · 12-27-2009, 10:42 AM

That's my kind of New Year party! Then again, I'm old and boring.

We're going to a friend's house nearby. Haven't gotten our families together in a few months. We'll probably come home at 10 or so and go to bed by 11. They usually have illegal fireworks there that we set off in the street. At like 9 pm.

I'll be ringing in the new year with Ma and my aunt Jaqui, who is staying at Ma's house from the 29th til the 11th Jan.

Oh and Pilau and Dante as well

Should be fun. We can get drunk and have a good natter.

I'm spending the 30th over in Hebden with the two J's. We'll be having a second Christmas dinner and gift giving etc as we haven't had the chance to see each other since the 23rd. Waiting til the 30th 'cause J's (f) kids will be at their Dads that night, so there will be a spare bed and we can talk without the kids taking over:P Most likely we will also end up watching several episodes of Blake's Seven! I'll be taking Pil with me too, and I have it on good authority that J(m) has bought him several intiguing dog toys.

My bro, SiL and the girls will be sunning themselves on a beach on some island off the coast of North Africa.

New Year's Eve is amateur's night, as far as I am concerned. There is no way I'm going out there with all those beginner drunk drivers. I've partied enough for three lifetimes, anyhow, so its a book and in bed by 10:00 for me. Time keeps speeding by no matter what I do.

Just me and the younger kid. Maybe not even him. My traditional Nothing. Hoping to avoid family-of-origin family in the coming year.

monster · 12-27-2009, 12:02 PM

Do all y'all normally go to bed that early, or is it an anti-new-year uncelebration?

Juniper · 12-27-2009, 12:04 PM

We are going to Great Wolf Lodge!

Both kids are bringing a friend. We'll have fun in the waterpark, order pizza, then go to a dance party. Then waterpark the next day and maybe a NY buffet brunch.

My main goal that evening is to enjoy an adult beverage or three while sitting in the Adults Only hot tub.

Shawnee123 · 12-27-2009, 12:05 PM

That sounds like FUN!

Can I borrow someone's kids?

monster · 12-27-2009, 12:05 PM

which one? Sandusky?

Juniper · 12-27-2009, 12:07 PM

Mason. North of Cincinnati, next to Kings Island.

New Years is the one Holiday I wish I was someplace else like in option #5 "Attending an all-inclusive party with overnight accommodations" but I am going to be home with family for sure.

I work every New Years. My trade off for not working Christmas.
