New Years Eve....

IndyBride2007 · December 2010

What is everyone's plan for New Years Eve? I may be spending my first NYE in MN this year, but I am not sure what we would do. We don't want to spend a crazy amount of money or go to any huge party. Does anyone have any suggestions for fun things to do here?
Or what are your plans for New Years?

I am headed to the Fine Line to see The Melismatics and Tina and the B-Sides play. My brother is the drummer for both bands. Both sets of my parents will be in town for it.

DH and I just buy a ton of junk food and watch a bunch of movies on NYE.

We're staying in, eating yummy food and going to bed early so that we can be happy smiley to spend time with DH's extended family on new years day. Angry

Not my favorite family tradition - probably because they're not my favorite people. at. all. and we'll have just spent more than enough time with them a week earlier. *sigh* at least we decided to only do it every other year and spend the "off" year doing something fun.

We usually have a nice dinner with friends, and then we stay up drinking champagne, and then we crash at their house and they make us breakfast in the morning

The tradition started because they used to throw big parties for NYE, but over the years it's evolved into nice little mellow dinner party. We mostly just spend the night for old time's sake...

a group of about 20 of our friends and us rent a hotel room at a place with a bar. Most of our kids are older and the older babysit the younger. So we pop between the bar and the block of rooms. And go to the rooms at midnight so we are with our kids also for the new year. We have a great time. We stay the next night also so we can relax, hottub and swim. Crockpots full of food, sandwich materials, chips, pop, fruits and veggies, it's a great time! Best of both worlds! Bring in the new year with Friends AND family!

NYE always used to be such a huge deal with us. But, since getting pregnant with Olivia, and having kids, we just don't do anything anymore.

We used to get together with all of our friends and do something every year...bar hop, have a party at somebody's house, do a nice fancy dinner & go out after. One year we rented a stretch limo with all of our friends and went bar hopping in Minneapolis...that was such a blast, by far my favorite.

Now, we usually head over to our friends house who have a LO the same age as Olivia, eat junk food, watch them play and head home as soon as the ball drops.

We will be in Cusco, Peru for NYE. Been reading up on the traditions down there and it sounds crazy insane awesome :-) Certain colors mean you will have certain things, so people wear the color they are hoping for- yellow= luck, green= money, etc. I picked up some yellow for DH and I to wear. Lots of people usually congregate in the Plaza de Armas and at the strike of 12 people run around the square 12 times. Some people eat 12 grapes at midnight. All of these things are supposed to carry you into the new year with good luck. Oh yeah, and if you want to travel in the next year you're supposed to bring empty luggage out with you :-)

My best friend is going to be with us on NYE. We have gone out for thai the last few years, so we might do that again, and then as far as what we'll do at midnight.. who knows! We might go out, we might stay in - Sarah has a flight back to NYC in the morning so we need to be functioning at a decent hour.

I should be going to the Wild game but I can't get off work early enough. So, DH and a friend are going and then I will pick them up after the game and we will hang out with friends where ever that may be.

We never have done anything special. We normally make a fancy dinner, watch and movie and more often then not are in bed at our normal time. I am guessing for much the same this year.

chaoticmum · December 2010

I used to go out, but kids + no babysitter = no more.

Now we just get together with other couples in our situation, play games and hang out til midnight and then go home.

swimmerette00 · December 2010

We might have some friends over for food, games, movies, etc. Very low key.

DH and I have only gone out once for NYE. It was only our 4th or 5th date and we met some of my friends at Gameworks Downtown. Usually DH and I just stay home, watch tv/movies, order pizza, and go to bed when the ball drops in NYC.

We are having dinner at Pittsburgh Blue and then going to a friends house to ring in the new year! We normally sit at home and relax and watch movies, so this is a new thing for us this year! It's nice to be back home with friends and family!

MichellePete · December 2010

I got a prime rib to cook for DH and I with other stuff we don't normally eat. Then we're going to Whisky Junction ot hear a Johnny Cash tribute band. DH is really into old country lately.
