So I think FI and I are really boring?? haha. The last two years we've been together, both years we just made a nice dinner, watched movies, watched the ball drop, and went to bed early.
The problem is that neither of us like bars on an average night--- make it 10x as crowded and you couldn't pay us to go. (we are lame? lol). Pretty much all of our friends either spend the holiday home with their families OR want to go wild n' crazy at a bar.
So, are we the only ones that are boring on NYE?
Haha, don't feel bad. My fiance and I do the same thing. He comes over, we watch the ball drop and that's pretty much it! Lol if it makes you feel any better, I have to work new years eve :[
LOL.. we'll probably be pretty boring this year. Everything is just so expensive on NYE and the stuff that isn't is such a hassle... we're usually happiest at a friend's houseparty, but no one is throwing one this year and we don't really want to, either. :)
I think we're going to have an open house late afternoon or early evening. And who ever wants to stay til midnight-great! Last year we both fell asleep before midnight!
For the last two years we have gotten together with a group of close friends and had a fun time at home with a big adult sleepover added to it. This year we are doing the same thing and it's being hosted by my best friend. This has turned into a tradition with 4 of our close friends. It's fun, we have a good new years eve at home and then eat cinnamon rolls hungover the next day, haha
Depending on the year, but hubby works, but we usually hang out with family somewhere. The past few years, his cousins have hat a fun party where you dress up according to the theme (70s, Cowboys, funny hats, etc.). We're boring, we don't really do the bar/club scene so you'll never see us there on NYE!
Hubby's 5-year-old son will be visiting us over new year's, so we'll be boring as well! The biggest question is whether to let him stay up, or to put him to bed...
VEGAS!!! sooooo excited. We got a suite at the new property on the strip - vdara at city center. fun fun fun!! Hubby loves to party, so its pretty much a given that we wont be spending NYE at home watching TV.
i found the perfect sequin skirt to wear (haute hippe) but damn i dont want to pay $400 for a skirt I will likely never wear again...when else but new years could i wear sequins?
Normally we're boring on NYE too. Except this year we're GETTING MARRIED!!!! Haha... I know you wanted boring responses, so last year we went to a bar with a few friends, and the year before I spent at my brother's house in Orlando (away from the FH!!!) with my fam.
We're hoping to be in Lake Tahoe for New Year's Eve. It all depends on whether or not I'll be able to get Wednesday, Dec. 30th off. I am pushing to get things squared away so I can take it off and head to Lake Tahoe. Generally, I'm a home body and usually very boring. This will be our first New Year's Eve together. We've only known each other for 9 months.
We do what we always do--party at my place! We have a collection of about fifty pounds of homemade confetti that we add to every year. We invite all our friends, watch movies, play games like Apples to Apples and Rock Band, and when midnight rolls around, we have an epic confetti battle in the garage. LOVE it. Absolutely my favorite holiday. It just feels so fantastic to start a new year right and fresh and fun. :)
Usually we're pretty boring, I've only been to a NYE party once and that was a family friend's.
But this year we'll be in Hawaii being boring, so it'll be 10x better! :D
@otb - getting married on NYE is probably the least boring thing you could ever do, and your NYE's will never be boring again since it'll be your anniversary! how fun and congrats!
@ otb.. that's pretty cool! Is it an early wedding/reception, or will you and your guests bring in the new year together?
IDK what we'll do this year.. we want to do something
Omigosh, already?!?!?!
Nothing that I know of. Unless a friend has a party or get together, we will likely stay home and relax.
We don't like to drive around with all the drunks either. It makes me VERY nervous =\
@mimosa & penga - Thanks! The ceremony is the middle of the day 2:00 pm. And reception starts at 6:00 with dinner at 7:45 and a champagne toast at midnight!!! So excited, less than a month away!
@ 91011Bride - Are you planning on coming down to South Lake Tahoe for the big Stateline party? My sisters will all be there partying it up; my husband and I will be home where we don't have to deal with the crowds! Lol!
@minutiae- that sounds fantastic! That is really my ideal night, but our friends that like that stuff usually do the holiday with their families. ah well
@otb- that is awesome!!
I'm hoping a good party rears its head because that's my favorite way to spend NYE. But we're going hiking New Years Day so I'm not sure how crazy we'll get ... and CW's little brothers are throwing an alcohol-free younger party at their parents' house so I know we're expected to stop by there for a bit ...
No, you're not the only boring ones. We usually don't plan or go out much either for NYE. And the couple of times that we did- we end up wishing we'd stayed home. We've grown to be such homebodies and I kind of like the romance of being alone with my SO while everyone is out and about. Don't get me wrong, we do like to go out on occasion and have fun but when it's a crazy night like NYE and everything is such a huge production to plan and get to, it's not as appealing.
I am dateless this year, FI is in the Opera and he is performing! I may talk some friends/ family into going
We're hosting a party at our house. I looove throwing parties.
At midnight, we'll be celebrating our one year engagement anniversary too. ♥
We went out and did the bar scene once, and never again! It's just too crowded, over-priced and really, not all that fun.
We always stay home now, or get together with some friends at either our apartment, or theirs.
It's been a tradition that we usually go to a big NYE party thrown every year by a big venue in the Bronx - all our friends go too and I'm sure they'll be going this year as well, but at $140 a ticket (plus getting dressed up) count us out this year.
I have no idea what we're doing. I'd love to throw an annual NYE party but in our little 1brm apt there's really no room.
I find NYE to be so stressful! I usually spent it with FI a few close friends drinking some wine and watching the ball drop. This year we might cross the border and go skiing at Mt. Baker in Washington - I hope that happens!
Usually I find New Year's to be this big ordeal though - bars are SOOOOO expensive, and people can't seem to figure out something to do. I am happy just hanging out with friends at a house party, or just chillin' with Mr. Valhalla.
I don't think we are going to do anything. We used to live in the Rocky Mountain time zone so the ball drop was sort of pointless since it was at 10pm. Now we are central but still a lttile worthless. I probably won't make it up until 12 anyway!
yeah we'll probably be pretty boring this year! my FI has a big school of accountacy test on january 4th so he'll be studying. we'll probably just watch the ball drop on tv and maybe have some wine!
This will be the first year we stay home I think. We're leaving for Disneyworld the following week and would have been at my parents' for Christmas the week before. Friends kind of have their own plans and we're just not in the mood for anything. I think we'll go out to a nice dinner, then get drunk on champagne in my living room ;o)
Also, in NYC, New Year's Eve is called "Amateur Night" which means every single person imaginable who goes out and acts like a total ass and throws up in the street goes out. Best to avoid these people.
Last year was the most fun NYE I ever had -- we went to "our" bar with my sister and her BF and there were maybe 40 people there. The owner had bought a few cases of Andre he didn't want to go to waste. It was an awesome time ;o)
Last year we fell asleep on the couch around eleven and woke up after midnight. We don't know if we'll be in the same country for NYE this year.
We usually go back to Philly for the holiday but with the wedding we just had we arn't able to. So instead we are going to Disneyland. It should be fun!
We're going to dinner earlier that night. However, no parties for us this year b/c I'm on call at the hospital. :(
my fi and I are going to Times Square and watch the ball drop. It feels like something we should do while living in the city.
The Boy and I are super-long-distance. Unless he's working, he'll be out having a beer with a few of his friends. I will be at home, packing everything I can live without for a week because I'm moving to a new apartment.
Well, OK, I'll probably pick up a bottle of something fizzy and watch the New Year's Eve episode of AbFab. At least Eddy and Patsy always manage to perk me up...
i guess it depends on what's going on at the club (hopefully nada!!) but if something is going on i'll make an appearance i think (unless i can't find a sitter).. and we'll toast with a great bottle of vino.. last year we had a yummy port at home in front of the tree with the kids watching!! i also had chocolate covered strawberries that m hated and his daughter and i devoured... lol i guess i could get a dozen of them and some sparkling apple cider for the kids in case we're all home.. but my son will be with his dad i think...
FI is away in Africa so I'm staying home in CT until Jan 1st. Probably just hang out at my parents' house or see if any of my friends are around... I was thinking of flying on Dec 31st but I figured it'd be fairly depressing to be somewhere over the Atlantic at midnight...
@starcharades: Good luck! I have absolutely zero desire to do that. Wearing diapers (people actually do this) and standing in the cold for like 8 hours with nothing to eat or drink sounds like a misery to me!
I've had to work the past few NYE's (07,08,09) and just realized that since our work schedule bids went through, I may actually have it off! So, we'll probably stay home as well, hehe.
The NYE before last, we met and kissed at midnight, last NYE, he proposed, and this NYE we're going back to the beach house (site of proposal!) NYE is sort of a big deal for us. :p
@hotchild- It's not that bad actually, as long as the weather isn't crummy. You can bring things to eat and drink with you I believe (maybe I'm remembering wrong) but I remember for sure that people were ordering pizza from Sbarro. They'd pass it over the top of their heads to get it the right people lol I also did NOT wear a diaper and has no problem holding my piddle. It's definitely A LOT of standing (some people brought little folding chairs), but it's kind of fun :) I'd go again! But hubby has to work (and since you should get there at like 2 or something, not gonna happen).
We'll probably do the same as last year. I'll make lots of little appetizer junk food things (which will be our dinner!) and we'll watch tv, play Wii, etc, until it's time for the ball to drop. NYE is my FAVORITE holiday (sooo jealous of you OTB! I so wanted a NYE wedding, but timing wouldn't have worked out). It's just really special to us because hubby and I were in a long distance relationship for 4 years before I moved in with him, but that's the ONE holiday we got to spend with each other every one of those 4 years, so we make it a priority to be together on that day :)
@joewifey: I don't know how recently they implemented this, but now you have to stand in a corral-type thing and you cannot leave it under any circumstances. And I think the latest you can get there to be within a few blocks is like 2 or 3pm. As someone who has to go to the bathroom all the time as it is, I definitely could not stand there for 8+ hours...haha.
Also, I just don't see the appeal of it. You can't see anything, tourists drive me nuts as it is and I wouldn't want to be surrounded by 1000000 of them, it's freezing, and there's no alcohol. ;o)
We'll probably host a gathering for my family at our new house! My mom always makes a giant pot of menudo (Mexican New Year tradition...I think...or maybe it's just our tradition), so we all fill ourselves with food and drink that night and watch the Twilight Zone marathon while waiting for the ball to drop. Problem is, the Talking Tina episode is always on at midnight. No one wants to miss Talking Tina, but the ball usually wins.
