What to do New Years eve?

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

I used to have some great New Year's Eve parties hosted by a lady of Scotch Ancestry-they say celebrate Christmas like a German and New Year's Eve like a Scotsman. But she's long gone, alas. Since 2009 I have gone to Morristown, NJ for First Night Morris. Various entertainments throughout the town, fireworks at 9PM andMidnight.

Gun range is hosting a night trap shoot starting at 4PM. I think I'll stay home as the HIGH tomorrow is supposed to be about 13.

Celebrate....

I celebrate in my sleep. If I'm around I watch the ball come down. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

 

[JJEH]

I think I'll stay home and let the amateur drunks be out and about.

It's the best.... couch.... tv.....blanket.... gun.... all set.

We've stayed home for the last 20 years. New Year's Day is my birthday (really!) and I just like to take it easy on both NYE and my birthday.

I'm gonna be 49 on Tuesday. We're gonna save the celebration until my fiftieth.

In the old days we partied & drank all night. Now being widowed for 10 years I stay at home, call my kids & grand kids. A cup of good cheer & I'm off to bed. The shotguns neighbors going off about midnight might wake me for a bit but I was doing the same thing years back.

Picked up a six pack of Coors Light long necks. Wife is a tee-totaller now.
If I have more than two it will be a big deal. Usually one is my limit.
I will be sleeping long before the ball drops. In Idaho the potato drops.

Been close to 40 years since I left the property on new years eve.. Too many inebriated out there and a DUI would be expensive...I'll have a couple or three Jack Daniels and fall asleep in front of the TV...

Happy new year everybody..

I'm planning to celebrate the occasion by replacing the flapper valves in the toilets! Woo Hoo!

Guess I'd better get started.

Happy New Year to all of you!

We always stay home on New Years Eve. Have some fancy snacks watch
the ball drop in New York City and hand for bed shortly after that.

since I got out of the air force I doubt that I have stayed up past midnight maybe 2 or 3 times.

I sure miss Frankfurt on new years eve in the early 1970's. it got pretty wild downtown. since they don't celebrate July 4 th the fireworks get shot up new years eve

It's cold. It's raining. Tonight the drunks love to drive those rain-slicked streets and play crinkle-fender with others - both those who drink and those who don't. Bad ju-ju.

The Mrs. and I will stay warm tonight with our incredibly lovable dog Corey (also known as "Booger" for short). I bought a nice bottle of champagne and will fix my world-famous green chili dip. We'll probably watch an "on demand" movie on cable. The jury is out as to whether we'll stay up to midnight or not. I suspect that 2019 will happen whether we do or not...

Best of luck to all, and especially those who venture out tonight!

John

P.S. Booger says hi, and happy new year -

Around here we have the Pickle Drop in Dillsburg, PA.

I think over in Lebanon, PA they have a baloney drop.

They say 60 is the new 40, but in reality 9pm is the new 12 am. Every New Years teaches the same lesson, even a large lobster is but a snack.

Instead of watching the ball drop, am watching the temp plummet.

At home, pizza, and red wine. Movie, Good, Bad, Ugly. A couple glasses if Jameson Irish. Will go out on porch at 12 to listen to gun fire etc. Happy New Year!!

Have a lot of fireworks going off now; surprised that my new to me 5 month old hound/lab rescue puppy has no aversion to it. My previous Golden, all 77 pounds, would try to crawl up in your lap and then get behind you as you sat in a chair.

I guess she was a little gun shy.

Actually, when we first moved to Florida, lightning and thunder had the same affect. She got over that but never fireworks. My new gal has been lazing around outside without a care in the world

I'm just hanging on the couch, as I have been the last few days, trying to get over the creeping crud. That and staying away from the windows.

I'm fighting to keep my eyes open but only 13 more to go.
