I haven't made up my mind yet.

It's always a little stressy. It supposed to be an all wonderfull and fantastic evening with all your friends.

When I was young, nobody had kids, and everybody was still going out, it always was a blast.

Now, it's different.

How do you like new years eve?

i think i've only done something fun once for new years eve and that was going to a morris day and the time concert years ago.

this new years eve i think we will be spending with friends, because for once my husband doesn't have to work that night.

Trying to avoid drunk drivers.

I used to love to do music gigs on NYE...because honey, that money was a bit of alright

But I've since traded the bright lights of the city on New Year's for camping at someone else's house in the country with my dude, usually in groups of 4-6 (not including the kid count) for an overnighter. We can eat and drink in peace, not worrying about driving home in the madness afterwards. Traditionally on New Year's people have Raclette for dinner here:

After that maybe there's just enjoying each other's company, reflecting on the year as it passes, making a little music,---having a short prayer/worship time in the minutes before the the new year, then... set off a few fireworks (they do it up really big here in Germany, the whole country has a lit up night sky for like, an hour, no kidding! ) My mother called me from the States once while I was outside watching and she freaked out because she thought it sounded like war, poor thing

As the fireworks are going off ,usually you meet some neighbors in the street as everyone brings out glasses and offers each other sekt & champagne, trading formalities and wishing another best luck for the coming year. Then we go back inside, pig out some more on leftovers and sweets, maybe watch a film or concert to get drowsy, then go to bed in whatever guest room is set up.

No plans yet.

Considering inviting friends over to my bf's and my place. We moved in together a week ago and we've been doing work on the house (painting, having new hardwood floors put in) and it might be the perfect time to celebrate our new home together.

Or we'll go out as we often do.

With my kids, watching fireworks in the Common for 1st Night festivities... if it isn't too cold and my son's asthma isn't acting up.

If not, we will dance wearing LED lights and glow gear and eat treats until midnight then pass out with the TV on bellies full.

I know I'm doing NOTHING

I'm married to a rockstar so that means he is always booked out that night

I have never spent NYE with my SOB

Anyways. Me and the kids had a funny time last year going out to a bridge from where you can see the city and the fireworks. Might do that again after a movie or 2. Actually now I'm looking forwards to it

Don't even know yet.

No boyfriend and no real friends around here so.....looks like it's going to be me and my son doing it up!

Bolting the door.

personaly, i'm gonna be lookin for the only other

livin human on the planet. if it's a man, i'll kill him.

no plans as of yet due to: December 21, 2012 Prophecy

I've been home every new year's eve since I was born.

I like doing New Years's in the house...all the hassle of being out with drunk, crazy people---keep it .

I want to end my New Year's just like that...my gut full of sweets and yummy stuff with the tv trying to keep my eyes open after being silly and acting a fool...in the privacy of a house

I'm single, so staying in with my cat will probably just sadden me.

Maybe I'll go to a small club, Paradiso, in Amsterdam. There will be a party and I'l just have a ball.

I found out the folks who do hipshaker and hot pants (old school soul & funk dance nights here in MPLS) are combining efforts for a new years party at one of my favorite spaces, the Kitty Cat Klub.

Guess my bf and I will invite folks over for nibblies and cocktails on the early side and we'll head on out to dance.
