New Years Eve

[rue]

I swear there was a thread about this last year, but I can't find it....

What are your plans for New Years Eve?

Big party? Stay at home and watch the ball drop? Something else?

 

[Yeps]

I am going swing dancing, then waking up to sing a mass the next morning.

Maybe it's still too early in the game . . .

Actually, I'm planning to party big on New Year's Eve Eve, and have a nice quiet evening with my honey on the 31st.
I'll be going to one of these two events:

Stay at home, mope around because there's another year under my belt

 

[BigFitz]

I won't be reveling because I'll be at work. Hopefully I won't have to witness the results of anyone else's revelry gone wrong.

That is what birthdays are for. Have fun on New Years Eve.

 

[MissMittens]

Too many birthdays under my belt, I'm refusing to have any more

We don't typically celebrate New Year's Eve the way most do; my wife is Asian and we tend to celebrate Chinese New Year's more... especially since it's a longer party (typically a week).

Last year our local PBS station had a huge event. We didn't go. We were thinking about going this year, but apparently they aren't offering it. We'll sit at home and if we make it to midnight, watch the ball drop.

I will drink many rounds of "cola del mono" ("monkey's tail"), South America's answer to egg nog: aguardiente, coffee, milk, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. I will get very drunk, and cuss in French and Spanish as well as in English.

Marc, that sounds delicious!

We typically stay at home, grill steaks, drink champagne & then fall asleep.

This year we've decided to branch out. We're going downtown to a big band/swing concert by the symphony, then a late night dinner at a steakhouse.

 

[AmateisGal]

Probably stay home, watch movies, eat junk food. Safer that way!

That sounds like a lot of fun!

There is no such thing as "junk" food

 

[Miss Golightly]

We'll be staying in and having some lovely food and Champagne and watch some DVDs....

There was talk about going to Ottawa for the big fireworks display on Parliament Hill, but we will probably end up pinching more pennies by staying in town this New Years. If we do, we'll probably end up at Red Lobster.

My mum and dad will be upholding their New Years tradition of baking a tonne of hors d'ourves and playing trivial pursuit all night, which is always fun!

 

[Gregg Axley]

Ooo, that does sound like fun C-Dot.
Okay, tell your parents my wife and I are coming up there.
I'll have time to try and memorize as many TP cards as I can on the way.
For us, we'll probably watch movies and have a nice quiet evening at home.
Maybe I'll spend a bit extra for a nicer level of wine than I usually drink, to celebrate.

Last year, I was sleeping on a rooftop in India, while celebratory rifle shots were fired into the air in the town below. I spent the rest of the week passing out Christmas presents to children in impoverished regions of the country. This year, I plan to spend it in much the same way.
