I know lilghostie asked what we all do, and i forgot to respond to that question, sorry LG, so i thought i would start a thread so people could share their ideas.
I usually stay up to see the sunrise on New Years Day...I am alone, the house is quiet and I usally listen to some good music...just thinking (and wishing) for a new and better year. I truly enjoy this time alone before the New Year begins.
Gerald and I sometimes watch a movie, one year we had a movie fest where we watch movie after movie after movie...(and once hes asleep i watch the skies for the sunrise and delve into my inner thoughts).We watch the different programs that show people ringing in the New Year too. And whooop and hollar at midnight.
I usually get me some wine coolers, in years past this is the only time I drink during the year (but i admit i have had a few other days i have had a drink this year). Gerald has had some of my wine cooler in the last 2 years...and doesnt see what i see in it-he only gets about half
After i see the sunrise i go to sleep until Daniel gets up and I am tired the rest of the day and sit around and do nothing....except make black eyed peas, gotta have black eyed peas on New Years day! I also take down the Christmas Tree on New Years Day. I had always heard it was bad luck to take it down before the New Year, but i just read something that said it was bad luck to take it down before the 5th, SO THATS WHY I DONT HAVE GOOD LUCK !!! LOL So i may keep it up a little longer and see if it increases my luck for the year.
And that is the extent of New Years Eve at my house.
Soooooo what do yall do ?
