    After midnight, my family all gathers (there's about 25 of us) in the main living room then the kids (12 and under) sit on the floor while my uncle tosses a combination of quarters, dimes and nickels onto the floor. After about 5 minutes of this, then the adults get on the floor...........................and it's a free for all as my uncle tosses handfuls of coins! People are climbing, ribbing, pushing, etc. to pick up coins! I've done this with them since '94 and the reasoning behind is that taking money in at the beginning of the year is "good luck". Must be working because my wife and I haven't ever had any money problems since we've been together.

    I think I want my new tradition to be hanging out with Paul Rudd.

    And Seth Green.
    And Robert Downey Jr.
    And Bill Murray.
    And Bob Sagget,

    Hell throw Eminem and Sarah palin in there for a little extra added excitement.

    I've always thought having sex was the best way to ring in the new year. What are you going to be doing at the stroke of midnight?
    In al honesty, I'll probably be asleep by 10. Not intending to, but it always happens unless we go out.

    Aw, now I'm sad that I won't be with my sweetie at midnight.

    Also, midnight is when I watch the ball drop on TV, then slip into my pajamas and go to bed. :)

    When we were kids, we would bang pots & pans at midnight.

    We like to be certain to ring in the new year with something positive, since sex can sometimes be hit or miss we just watch a tried and tested episode of Firefly or Doctor Who or Buffy instead. It's the only way to be guaranteed satisfaction.

    My wife and I will have a very nice, romantic dance and kiss(es), then say a prayer of blessing for our family and friends and then we enter in to the category of "nonya"...been doing that since the BeeGees were popular.

    "Just the two of us, we can make it if we try,
    Just the two of us, just the two of us,
    Building castles in the sky,
    Just the two of us, you and I."

    Happy 2013 :flowerforyou:

    Working until 6 so no real plans. Not really feeling like going out tonight so I'll most likely just chill at home with a book or movie.

    Getting plastered. Isn't that the traditional method of bringing in the new year?

    I'd be f*cking but I don't think my parents would much appreciate that and I think the idea of waking up in someone's childhood bedroom would be traumatic for my partner. :tongue:
