To ask what you're doing for New Years?

[fairylightsandfire]

I know, I know it's not even Christmas yet! But, what do people do for New Years? We usually go to family but really not keen on spending it with IL's this year. However it's just me, DH and baby. So not many options..
interested to know how others celebrate and look for tips x

Nothing, going to have a nice night in and avoid the crowds. Bliss!

A meal in the evening but will be home early, maybe a drink or two on the sofa then go out at midnight on the street for the fireworks il be asleep by one. Then head out the next night.

A couple of friends and their families, no pressure to stay until midnight but nice for a catch up

Having a Mr Bean NYE party with DDs (4 and 7) - complete with Twiglets and newspaper hats.

DDs will go to bed at usual time (7pm), as will DH and I (9.30/10pm).

Cheese fondue. Bottle of champagne. Us two.
Done

Sweet FA. hate New Year (singular) and all the enforced jollity and belief that miraculously after midnight everything will be squeaky clean and perfect. will be in bed at usual time and will wake up to find.....nothing has changed. Surprise, surprise.

Food and drinks at a tapas restaurant with family. Looking forward to it although it will be a step down from last year where DH and I were in Reykjavik watching the awesome fireworks sneaky brag sorry!

I hate New Years, always have. I make a platter of picnic type food & my 6YO normally stays up till the bells. My DH goes out :)

Stay at home. Watch the fireworks on the telly and go to bed 😂

Nothing much. Sometimes the couple next door come round for a curry, drinks and Jools but I think they are away this year.

If it's just us we will probably watch a film and be in bed at the usual time.

For some reason, I have never enjoyed New Year, even as a teenager. No bad connections or anything, just never been my cup of tea.

Going for dinner (beef wellington) at my best mates/husbands.

They are childfree but very accommodating of us and our two DC's. Will get them off to bed and then drink, watch the fireworks on tv and then bed.

Pamper evening
Set goals for the new year and reflect on the last
Something to drink, something to eat, watch the fireworks on TV

Would love to go out but I'm pregnant with 2 DCs

4 couples plus kids. We gather at someone’s house for a sleepover- family per room - blow up beds etc.
Kids have a film night. Adults have dinner and wine. We usually play games like Catan. This year it’s a Murder Mystery.

Going to local excellent Italian restaurant with some friends who live nearby. All walking distance

We've got friends coming round to us for the evening. Food, board games etc then bed just after midnight.

We always have anither big roast of new years day so never want to be hungover

Night in with DH and some wine.

Same as @StickyShoes. Teen DS May show his face for the bells.

Nothing. I don’t like new year. Always feel a bit down in the dumps really. Probably won’t even stay up until midnight.

Working

Just in our thatched cottage with some champagne and fizzy apple juice for kids then down to Longleat on 1st for safari, fireworks, Festival of Light etc.

My DP isn't with me until just after Christmas as he's spending time with his 92 year old mum so New Year is our Christmas and I love it. I do the full Christmas dinner, we drink champagne and spend the day and evening just the two of us. New Year's day is bacon sarnies and the concert from Vienna

LDRs can be frustrating but we make the most of the time we have.

Forced jollity is shit. Next day is the same as the day before. That's all thank you.

Not a massive fan of New Year.

Having our neighbours (3 other couples) round for dinner and drinks. Nice and easy as everyone can walk/stumble/crawl home at the end of the night

The roof at the pub is slate I think.
