How do you celebrate the new year?

(1/4) > >>

BlackCurtains:
If you celebrate at all, that is :)

When I was a kid, my dad would always take me to the beach to see the big fireworks show. Now I'm not a fan of fireworks. I find them annoying and they're bad for the wildlife. Plus, the last time I saw any in person a large canister fell on my shoulder and that freaked me out a bit.

I used to stay up and watch the festivities on TV, like the Times Square party. I don't even do that anymore. I think last year I was already in bed :P

What are your plans?

SpacePinto:
I just wait until midnight, check the celebrations on tv sometimes, and after twelve I will also watch fireworks through the window (as kids we would also fire some ourselves), that's pretty much it.

Beth3346:
Usually we just make a nice dinner and stay home. Every time i've tried to plan something outside of the house it ends up being a disaster. We used to live close to the part of town where the NYE fireworks display was so we could watch the fireworks from a safe distance and stay indoors. now we're out in the suburbs so we just hear all of the noise but can't really see anything. mostly we just comfort the dogs. i'm not a fan of all of the loud fireworks either. especially when people set off the rest of their firework stash throughout the week. It's very disturbing to hear loud bangs when it isn't NYE or July 4th! When we lived in San Antonio one year people were setting off fireworks on Christmas Eve!

I'm like you BC and am usually in bed before midnight. We don't really stay up late anymore. and i think NYE is a little overhyped as a time when you're supposed to be at some great party. i've stopped pressuring myself to plan anything big and i just relax and mentally prepare for the next year.

Griffin:
No big plans this year, my sister was going to come over but she had to cancel due to work and train schedules. So it's just me and my spouse. Some good food, maybe boardgames or tv... a quiet evening at home, keeping company to the cats in case they're afraid of the fireworks. I usully spend all of the evening indoors. :P Not a fan of fireworks myself and I wish they would ban them altogether.

Oh, and of course can't skip the tradition of watching "Dinner for One" on tv! :lol:

Heart Of Midnight:
I don't care about the whole New Year's Eve. I’m with my cats so they don’t have to worry about that shocking uproar that comes from the fireworks! Hopefully the fireworks would be completely banned after this celebration! Nature suffers the most from all this. Insanely noisy and rubbish everywhere.  >_<

As a kid, I was always excited about this and liked to send fireworks to the sky. One of the best festivities after Christmas.  :rolleyes: Thankfully, my mind has changed.

So my eve goes by listening to music and watching TV.  :relaxed:
