New Years Plans?

Janet · 12-26-2006, 06:39 AM

We love celebrating New Year's so much. We wait until about 6:00 PM and start cooking everything. It usually takes us awhile, we're in no hurry..lol and then eat between 7:00 and 7:30. We try to stay awake to welcome in the New Year, but usually never make it. I'm always out by 10:00. We fill up so much on the seafood, we fall asleep before midnight.

Couple of years before the Millennium five couples got together to plan a street party for the year 2000, we enjoyed each others company so much we all get together often.
So each new years eve since we have a party or go out for a meal, this year we will start down the road at one couples house for supper and then come up to our cabin in our garden to see in the new year with fireworks and drinks

Janet, Can we come too??? We love seafood!!!!

Highlans, That sounds like it's really fun. We used to do what we called Progressive Dinners that we would have different parts of a meal in different houses. Like we would have a salad at one house, appetizers in another house and so on. I like the idea of walking down the street to your neighbors. I bet it's a lot of fun!!

We usually do like Brooke. We go to a friend's house and play games and, of course, eat. A lot of other church friends will be there as well. Sometimes I have everyone here at our house.

This year my oldest daughter (29) asked me about her having a party at our house and I told her that it was ok. I had forgotten all about the party and I forgot to tell my husband, so SURPRISE to us!!! We're having a pretty BIG party, I think. My husband came home the other day and said that he had heard that we were having a party and several people told him that they were coming. Mostly it will be friends from church and family. It'll be a lot of fun and we're looking forward to having it. I hope that my daughter can come up with games for that many people!!!

It sounds like you all have such fun!
We rarely celebrate New Years at all. Often I end up babysitting while hubby is on the road. LOL

Greg is supposed to be on the road again this year, so I will likely spend the night home alone with the dogs. Whooopie! LOL

I thought about having an open house but, it's a little late for that...most of our friends go out...like last year and the year before we will be staying home...I'm not into the, going out, partying and driving (I don't drink ...I am usually the DD) but, it's all the others that drink and drive that make me nervous...we are safer at home...Maybe we will get Chinese food, rent a movie and then bring the year in with a BANG!! lol!!

Of course if I lived closer to Janet I would crash her party!!! I LOVE seafood!! what time is dinner again Janet??!! LOL

Tink...we stay home too, we just fix a fabulous supper. You can do that too! and then celebrate when your hubby comes home. Tell him what a wonderful New Year's Eve supper you had....bet he'll want to stay home with you next year....LOL I just wish I could stay awake till midnight. Sometimes my son and hubby do, but I just can't hold them peeper open that long....

If you lived closer I'd invite you over to eat with us! AND everyone else on 4WT too!

Janet, why don't we all come to your house. I'll bring some games. I have Skip Bo and Chicken Foot, and of course dominoes & cards. We can have different tables playing different games. I have two card tables, so will bring them. What do you think?? Think you can stay up if we all are there????

We have some wild jumbo shrimp in the freezer. I can bring those, too. Okey, dokey???

Wellll...

We use to bring in the New Year in a very "special" way.

Since Emily has gotten older we usually bring in the New Year in our "special" way later. LOL

We all stay up and watch the ball drop and then watch a few of the specials afterwards. Other than that we don't really do anything special.
