AIBU to ask what everyone is doing for New Years Eve?

[Ihearticecream]

Hi, I’m stuck with what to do! Wondered what everyone else is up to?
I know some people don’t like it. Feel like we need to do something to make it special for the children. Whereas I’d be happy to watch a movie at home and relax.
What’s everyone else got planned?

Take away, film, fireworks on TV at midnight, bed.

Pretty much all we've done since we had DC.

Extended Family, steak pie, clootie dumpling, booze, board games and watch the fireworks out the window at the Bells.

Kids with their dad so off out into nearest city for a drink or two and a dance.

I'd be happy to collapse at home as I have a long day at work and know I'll be tired. However, we going for a curry with two others couples and then to ours to see New Year in.

We still have one of my relatives staying since Christmas. We’re going to the panto in the day with DD, said relative and my in-laws. Should get home about 5ish then just food at home. DD is only 3 so will probably do a pretend countdown for her and then debatable whether the rest of us make midnight to be honest.

Cooking a nice dinner- steak and dauphinoise with a home made cheesecake and steaks for the dogs! Daughter is heading back to Uni on Saturday to do out with her friends up there, so just the two of us having some champagne, dinner and a box set.

Steaks at home with a bottle of something lovely and a film (not sure what yet). Oh and posh chocs.

Even in my twenties when I loved going out I always found NYE a bit disappointing (much preferred Christmas Eve for a night out), so more than happy with my quiet night in.

Going to friend's house. Dinner and games. There'll be 7 of us.

Will be staying in with some wine and nibbles. Probably watch a film then if I can stay awake until the bells,will watch the fireworks from an upstairs window.
My days of going out in the town or first footing round various houses on hogmany are over.

Similar to ilovesooty friend's house with DC same age as ours. We're doing a homemade escape room - which I've yet to plan 😬 better get on that! YouTube karaoke, charades, great food, sangria de cava 😍 and we'll wake up on 2nd January!!

Panto mid afternoon. Home and Chinese take out whilst watching The last leg of the year.

We never really do much NYE - I'm not a fan really, never have been.

We have one DS who is 10. So, I will make something nice for tea, probably a film and some games.

May or may not make it to midnight to bring it in 😂

Staying in with gin and Toblerones.

Oh very nice 😊

Nothing. It's just another day to us. I can't be arsed with it anymore.

A barn dance. Went well last year. Quite painless

I try to take the kids up some hill somewhere to watch the fireworks across the city - depending on the weather, that may be a hill we walk up, or may be a hill we sit in the car at :)

My eldest really likes a bit of atmosphere, so I'm hoping the weather is nice enough that we can go walk to one of the spots people gather and count down together.

Sounds perfect!

Crotchet and/or a jigsaw. Won't be staying up late though, I want to be up early on NYD.

@Caroparo52 Where is this shindig?

Going to the pub with family and friends, then we'll go back to mine at 11.30 for our usual Hogmanay party, where more friends and family will arrive prior to midnight.
Then it's eat, drink and have fun until you collapse.

Zilch!

Babysitting GC's and not v happy about it at all

lone parent so staying in with the kids like every other night

Early dinner out, then home for a bottle of red in front of the fire.
Probably stay up just long enough to see the New Year in and hear our neighbours fireworks.
