This year we are keeping it low key. Dinner and a movie with some friends. IT will be an early night Has anyone seen Miss Sloan? Thoughts?
We had some other invitations for NYE that, to be honest, might have been preferred, but we’ve already committed to this plan. Its fine. Will see the other friends another time. What are the rest of you doing?
Dinner with the same friends we have been celebrating with for 30 years. We’ve only missed it once. It’s just a very nice, relaxing and great evening.
I’m going to a Billy Joel concert with adult S who’s in town for Christmas. BJ has been one of his favorites since he was a kid so when I saw that there was going to be a NYE concert, I grabbed a pair of tickets. I’m glad he’s not too embarrassed to go to a concert with me anymore.
We rarely do anything for NYE. Will probably have an early dinner. Son is here visiting, and not sure if he will go out or not. We are all running a race Saturday morning that would normally be Sunday morning (NY day) but it’s Saturday this year. I won’t be awake at midnight!
Having dinner with D2 and her new BF at home before they go out to a party. Have a bottle of Veuve to celebrate with. I will watch the ball drop on TV even though Time Square is just a short distance away.
Dinner with two other couples then back to one of their houses to toast the New Year. I don’t expect we will stay much past midnight.
We are renting a beach house in
Galveston and enjoying family time, playing board games and running with the dog on the beach. Food for new year’s eve will be fresh seafood and cheese and chocolate fondue.
Well, Miss Sloan is gone, so they picked Girl on a train at the dollar theater!!
Our NYE plans are changing this year. Our friend who normally hosts NYE has moved to the suburbs for the next 4 years and we were all lazy about offering up an alternate house. We will walk to Penn’s Landing to see the 6pm fireworks and head to a nearby friends house for appetizers and cocktails for a few hours. We will then walk over to another friends for cocktails and dessert. We always host a brunch the next morning and that is still on. People will stop by and eat and then walk up to see the Mummers Parade. Other friends will have a later open house for late lunch/early dinner. We have had the same general group for NYE/Day for 20 years. Each year will see a few new faces and a few will have other responsibilities. It has always been very nice, but I’m not certain how it will play out next year.
My 14 year old daughter will be with us but not certain about the 17 year old.
No set plan. Might order in sushi, go to a movie or do OnDemand. I have a really nice bottle of champagne from Election night which was never opened for obvious reason, so might see what neighbor couple is doing and invite them over to help us drink it - so half a bottle won’t go to waste.
Been with D in London since before Christmas and we are having dinner and seeing Book of Mormon for NYE. I’m flying back the next day so it won’t be a late night for us. I enjoy reading all of your plans since I have spent plenty of NYEs at home and out. I love all the possibilities.
I bought a red dress - nailed it, apparently, because the rooster is red, so that’s good. Will be wearing that even though we decided to stay home. Friends who used to get out of town to play in the snow are staying in, so we will be hosting them. Champagne and caviar and fireworks on TV. JK - no caviar. Although I saw a tiny jar of it on sale at Costsco for $80. 
I will be making dumplings in my steam oven.
We almost never go out on NYE. But, a friend asked if we would go to dinner at 6:30, so we decided to go.
We will be having tapas. We can still be home in bed by 10.
S2 is going out with some Russian friends, and DH and I have never been up for going out. Expect we will binge watch something or other and have fondue, Chinese or something. A couple years ago we watched the Barry Manilow concert on PBS. A lot of fun we are, I tell ya!
Would prefer to be at home in comfy sweatpants with a bottle of champagne, as I hate the big fancy NYE parties. We stopped doing those years ago. But this year, we are going to a wedding.
Invitation said Black Tie.
I hate hate hate dressing up. This will be one of those “you just have to get through it” evenings. If we didn’t care so much for the parents, we’d have declined for sure. As it is, we are going to have to suck it up, probably all the way to midnight.
NYE is almost always a night at home for us. Happily.
We will be celebrating our corgi/beagle’s “gotcha” day - NYE 6 years ago. 
He will be dining on a delicious scrambled egg made with love for his NYE treat.
I have a hankering for crab legs so may pick up a couple at Costco to enjoy along with other not yet determined food items for H and D2 and I.
A family tradition is that we collect our change all year and then we wrap it up in coin wrappers on NYE. Then we try to think about an item or day trip or something that we can all somewhat enjoy with it.
Low key and loving it!
Depending how cold it is, we plan on walking to Central Park to watch the fireworks. Fiance will bring a bottle of Champagne and flutes in his backpack so we can toast the New Year. DS and DD are off to their own NYE parties. That kind of thing was fun when I was 20.
DH and I are in San Francisco for a 3 day getaway. We decided not to host the NYE party and planned to stay home but I got a text from a friend yesterday inviting us to join them. She gave us two free tickets for a dinner/dance! Can’t say no to free so we’re going!
After hosting house guests for a week, plus doing 3 extra festive holiday meals, we drove 6 hours to help number 2 kid and partner navigate the projects necessary to get their “new to them condo” ready for occupancy. Nothing was straightforward, but we navigated it all and leave for home tonight at 10 to avoid traffic.
Just declined our deferred decision NYE party invite; literally need to sit quietly with a glass of something for the first time in two weeks. Pure joy for DH and I to be home alone, with our achy joints and a smile.
We will go to H’s best friend from small kids days for soups and fellowship. Most of his other friends will also likely drop by. We will stay as late as we feel up to. The next day, my brother is hosting the extended family at his place for New Year’s Day lunch!
S will be in DC (leaving this morning), but D will go to the lunch with us–not sure about NYE.
