Do you have a special New Year’s tradition? Is it interesting? Is it original? Or do you just read a book and go to sleep at 9 p.m.?
Go ahead and let us know what your tradition is by writing it below. Please keep it short so everyone has room. Here’s an example for you:
We watch the sun set over the old year, stay up all night, then go to the beach to watch the sunrise on a new year.
We hope you have a safe and happy New Year.
Fall asleep, counting my blessings and wake grateful for the new year!
New Year’s Day meal – black-eyed peas, ham, and corn bread.
Sounds yummy – but my gut would make me pay big time. Enjoy.
As a young man, and a Scotsman, I would spend Hogmanay with likeminded friends, drinking, eating, toasting in the New Year and generally partying until I collapsed somewhere (foolish). Now, the only time I drink alcohol at all is when I toast the New Year in with one glass of single malt whisky, on my own at home, before going to bed (much better).
I used to try yo stay up but now I don’t really do anything at all.
In bed by 10pm; we know the guns fired into the air at midnight will let us know when it’s New Year’s.
We go to our friends’ annual party. It’s low-key, good food and conversation, a champagne toast at midnight, and then home using the back roads to try to avoid the drunks.
I take my wife dancing to live music New Year’s Eve. New Year’s Day a good friend who owns a sushi restaurant closes it for a private party, serving everyone a lobster tail and lobster bisque. Last year I sold 7 copies of my latest book at the party.
I’m typically so sick of the old year that I stay up to make sure it leaves. 😀 I’ll knit and watch a movie or two on New Year’s Eve, and then watch somebody drop the ball (you know the one) on TV before turning in.
