1. You had me at "no bras;" Just add sweat pants...

and some chocolate

[NightWatcher]

2. Still probably wont even go.

26. 😍

3. My nephew and his fiancee are in town, from Florida, so I hope to see them, tomorrow afternoon

No doubt his sister, her husband and my brother will stop by, too. Then that's it, for me. I'll make a pizza, open some wine, play with the kittens, look for something interesting to watch on HBO Max, and probably be asleep well before midnight. For how long depends on the kittens.

6. Testing First?

My mantra: Breathe no one else's air.

Live longer that way.

[Siwsan]

11. They are flying so I'm not sure if that's a requirement.

I do know they are all fully vaccinated.

[barbtries]

4. this is my plan.

as it is every year. I'll probably be sawing logs by 9 pm.

[Midnight Writer]

5. I always stay home on amateur nights, like New Year's and St. Patrick's.

[CaptainTruth]

7. Good plan! Too many drunk nuts on the roads.

[dchill]

8. Me too - but add first day of hunting season!

[Martin Eden]

10. A bear hunter was driving to the trailhead on a twisty forest road.

He saw a sign stating Bear Left so he turned around and went home.

12. A wise choice.

[central scrutinizer]

24. Dodging wildly left and right to avoid trees

Then realize it was their pine tree shaped deodorizer hanging from the mirror

[TygrBright]

9. Totally there! n/t

[bahboo]

13. haven't gone out on NYE for a long time....amateur night...

we usually go to a bar around 4 just to be kind of festive, but not this year. Once the ball drops in NYC and Sooshie in Key West, 9P our time, our evening is usually done. Bubbles, some football, perhaps a movie. And yep, no bathroom lines, which is a thing at my age.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. The only "reservations" I have for NYE

are about joining the fray.

I like your "hot club" much better.

[iscooterliberally]

15. I'll be hanging out at my brother's lake house.

We're going to have beers around my portable fire pit. It's only going to be 6 people and everyone is fully vaccinated and boosted. I used to play in bands or run sound for a living. Even though the pay was great for NYE I don't miss being out on that night at all. 'Amateur night' is correct. It really is the worst night of the year to go out. Everything is way more expensive. Save your money and maybe your life and just stay home.

16. I've scheduled a staycation celebration

With me, myself, and I, and the internet.

Looking forward to a fabulous evening!

[JohnnyRingo]

17. I'll be wearing my new Christmas pajamas.

It's still a special event, after all.

[irisblue]

18. Decafe tea, popcorn, Firefly & the Big Damn Movie rewatch and cats.

NY eve into NY Day

Checking on the Michigan v Georgia game from time to time on NYE

[leftieNanner]

21. Popcorn!

Thanks for the reminder irisblue. I ran out of Orville last week - and it's fresh home-popped corn for us or nothing. No microwave bags to be seen in the house.

Happy New Year!

[beaglelover]

19. Ha Ha. Love Stefan!

20. Hell, we've been staying home New Years Eve since our late 20's....

and that was a whole bunch of miles ago. So, no impact on us. My better half loves all the hubbub, just not being IN the hubbub. I couldn't care less, since it's just an arbitrary start and end of roughly 1 earth orbit. Could have just as easily been on a lunar cycle in Sept or April. A better idea would have been a solstice, regardless of what day in our calendar it lands on. And we as a species were marking the solstices before metalworking. In short, Jan 1 is just a current convention for marking time and is meaningless beyond that. I know, I'm no fun. I'm just no fun at all. I get told that every single year.

[jmowreader]

22. I have a date with my platesetters tomorrow night

What is this "club" you speak of? I'm going to work. I work every Friday night.

In fact, the next time I will have New Year's Eve off is 2029.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

23. We'll be drinking mulled wine in front of the fire.

My favorite holiday treat is making a cheeseball. So that will be it. (My cheeseball in all its glory



Back in the day in NYC on the Upper West Side I'd walk over to Central Park while the hubby would nap...

"Children of all ages can enjoy the celebrations there. Fireworks are launched at midnight from Bow Bridge-Cherry Hill, at the center of Central Park (situated between 71st and 74th Streets), and they can be seen from most spots in Central Park."

We lived on West 73rd. 😎
Those were the days, my friends...
Have a Healthy!!

[sarcasmo]

25. Sweatpants and my lazy boy.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Works For Us!

I'm making shrimp curry over sticky rice.
Bottle of champagne at midnight. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Paris time!

[CTyankee]

28. NY Day is our 37th wedding anniversary!

We have reservations at a nearby Spanish restaurant. I rarely drink alcohol but will have a glass of Cava in celebration.

Our wedding took place in the living room of a local Justice of the Peace. We said our vows with a cassette recording of the Ode to Joy playing softly. I wore blue velvet. I still have the dress but can no longer fit in it (it musta shrunk in the closet).

Beautiful day.
