Just curious what kinds of plans you all have for New Years Eve. I am completely undecided. We've done the dress up and go to a party thing (all kinds, for years and years). We've done the dinner out with friends. We've done the beach bonfire where we bring our christmas tree for fuel (freeze your a$$ off). Our latest tradition is staying home, cooking, and just being with family and friends.

What is your tradition? what are your plans, whether they be extravagant or not.. what are you doing on NYE???

whatever it is, be safe and have a wonderful new year!
 
:wave:

Although I have done the dress up thing & went out to a formal party at a hotel, I'm not a big fan of it. I think NYE is overpriced! However I did have a great time when I went out. This year, I am going to a house party with good friends. Have a wonderful & safe NYE!
 
We will be in our condo at Seacrest Beach. The best man in our wedding just moved back from Honduras and has his wonderful family with him. :wub:They are here along with another groomsman from our wedding and his family. I believe with 7 children and 6 adults we will have our hands full!! I believe that drinks, apps and fireworks will be on our menu for the evening!

Happy SAFE New Years!!
 
We are at our condo in Seagrove and several friends and neighbors are coming over to eat and depending on the weather, go out on the beach at midnight, otherwise snacks and games!
 
Staying home. Watching the Chick-Fil-A bowl with friends and probably be asleep before '09 arrives. We are hosting a party on New Years day for our son-in-law, who will be deploying to Iraq on Jan. 3. Home and being surrounded by loved ones is always the best.
 
We're starting a new tradition just this year and going out for dinner with friends for cuisine we wouldn't ordinarily try. This year it's German. Next year, I hope to get Mr. JR to try Indian (but he keeps saying no. :()

Tootsie, some of our most fun NYE's was when our son was anywhere from about 7 - 12 yrs. old. The 3 of us stayed home and rented semi-scary movies (Jaws, Tremors, The Shining, etc.) & other movies that were pg13 that he wasn't allowed to watch w/out us. We'd have junk food and appetizers all night, then pop the sparkling grape juice at midnight and watch the ball drop. He loved being able to stay up way past midnight.

We skipped the parties during these times in favor of spending it as a family.

Now that he's older and doing his own parties, Mr. JR & I have been venturing out on NYE - close to home still because they all usually end up back at our house.

may he stay safe! we have a good friend deployed to Iraq in about a week! We will all need to stay close to the wife/kids during the six months or so to help with day to day stuff. It must be hard for the family but I'm sure your family will be great support! yes, home and being surrounded by loved ones is always best.

I love it! and I shall have to copy this starting this year! we have stayed home the last few years because (1) the little boy child; and (2) we've done it all already!. So, home is where we want to be anyway. We'll have to choose an exciting PG-13!!!:lol: however, I am thinking someone is going to be watching effing football though.. dam! oh well. oh, and grape juice ain't going to cut it in this house! maybe for the small boy child, but not for the mama.
