So... what are your New Year's Eve plans?

JoyceJoanne

I've always wanted to do something big for NYE. We always had a thing that was 'kid friendly' cause, well, we have kids. They are grown now (22, 24- both living back home). We've done a few big things, but mostly with our kids. We've done Disneyland -CA AND Florida, and without the kids we did Jamaica. THAT was fun! Last year we did Big Bear in the snow. It was ok... Only because we went with friends that have small kids (2 yr old twins) so we were limited to staying at the cabin. Fun enough... going again this year. But I don't want to get 'stuck' doing that every year. I want to do 'grown up' things. Yes, we drink, play games etc but I'm talking about 'adult' things. Like going to a fancy hotel and dressing in a gown, hanging out on the strip in Las Vegas, fighting the crowds in Times Square.... I have a year to plan something... I need ideas.

What are YOUR plans???

We have kids but plan on going to Tokyo or hong kong. We live in Japan so not too expensive to fly from here. Leaning more to Tokyo bc we have been before and it is super super fun we think that would be a great place to bring in the new year!

Be prepared. It's going to be VERY crowded, but fun. They pass out hats and blowers.:happy:

My son is staying at his Dad's that weekend so I get to have all the fun. Travelling to a nearby city to a friends houseparty, then will stumble my way across town to meet my new bloke in a pub, go on a bit of a crawl, then back to his house for his houseparty.

I'm from Central Maine and heading to Southern Maine for a rocking NYE party at an acquaintance's condo. There is basically going to be 20-30+ awesome people bringing in the new year under one roof and then we plan on camping indoors, sleeping bag style. Great way to meet new people and better to be safe than sorry! Cheers, everyone!

Two options:

One of the guys I ride with is throwing a party. Could be a lot of fun. However, I told my daughter, she could throw a party at our house for her and her firneds. If she chooses to do so, I will be staying home and riding herd on a bunch of teenagers.

Well, I was going to go to Austin with my friend, but her boyfriend may be doing something special for her...so not sure right now. I will find out on Thurday if his plans worked out. If they do..well guess I will figure soemthing out.

I'm not a big fan of New Years. Always overhyped, overcrowded, and overpriced. I'd love to have a relaxing evening at home with family watching movies.

For me NYE is over hyped too... I've done 1st night in Boston a couple times - with the hotel and all but I prefer
staying in safe and sound so we are hosting a small party - sleepover so they stay safe and sound as well!

Lots of food drinks games laughs...

I thought about Times Square before... then I thought about the insane crowds, lack of bathrooms and that Bourbon St pee smell and said no thanks

I'm going to hang up a new calendar. :ohwell:

I've never really understood the whole new year hype and I don't like crowds, so I'll be staying in and probably be in bed before midnight.

I feel the same..however, our best friends' anniversary is on NYE and they have a big party every year. So that's what we are doing. Acting 21 with a bunch of 40+ year olds..good times!

Me and my babe are going downtown Denver to watch the fireworks and hang out with the New Year's crowd. We don't drink so its so fun to watch all the drunk people embarrass themselves.

ChitownFoodie

I've got 2 house parties to attend. I am usually designated driver, so there will be no alcohol consumption for me at the first party, but the second is actually in the neighborhood so we will be walking there.

chefkev

hmmm, sleep early. Get up about 4am, workout like a boss, then who knows. If I don't keep in a schedule, I get all weirded out and lose focus.

CakeFit21

We have a tradition; we do lobsters or crab legs, (last year we did oysters too) and husband makes a dessert he's never made before. I am not allowed to touch the dessert, but I can coach. Last year he made beautiful lemon souffles. This year I think he's going to make Tarte Tatin. It's very fun.

We are kickin it at home, sorry no ideas from me, we are boring!

lovinlife71

:drinker: Party at my house...guests are staying overnight so no designated driver needed!!!:drinker:

I don't go out on NYE. It's over-priced, over-rated and usually disappointing.

brandimacleod

Downtown Reno with my drunk crazy cousins. I am sure I will be just as drunk and crazy! It is not as crowded as Vegas or Disneyland, but its a cheap cab ride home from downtown. LOL!

krazyforyou

As a critical nurse Im working New Years eve day and New Years day. Party on my friends.

cabaray

Our kids are 10 and 12, so we will be staying home, drinking sparkling grape juice and playing board games and watching movies. I had my years of ringing in the New Years under the influence. I like being relaxed at home now!

MargieM

LOL! I have big plans this year!!! WOOT! 12 hours (7pm to 7am) with 6th-8th graders for our youth group NYE party! I'm going to have a rockin' good time..... okay, not really. The life of a mother and youth sponsor.... :ohwell:

I love NYE in Denmark. They put on the best fireworks ever. Mostly from everyone's back yards. Big ones, all over town. Big mess the next morning, but spectacular the night before! :laugh:

:drinker: Here's to a great 2012 for all my MFP peeps!

Happy New Year everyone

We dress up go to a nice dinner and a movie. We're not party people, so that is fun and special for us. This year we waited to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie as we saw the first on NYE two years ago! Whenever I get my house all done up I plan to do a NYE party wi the neighbors and friends. Hope you have fun!
