How do you ring in the New Year?

[PrettyPriya]

I'm just wondering what everyone does to celebrate New Years. Cheers!

I host a party!

I attend a party!

I spend it with my SO!

I have a bit too much to drink and never remember!

We are planning to have a party (usually rotates)

it usually involves the following.

music
live music - someone sings, plays stuff etc
stupid games
food lots of it, usually a large pot of curry, pot of chilli, random vegetarian curry, snacks such as pizza.
stupid drinking games
drunken singing
New year
Toasting absent friends (with tears usually and laughing lol).
stupid games or dancing
even more stupid drinking games.
We try to have a New Year’s Day walk (sometimes a swim)
back home and big breakfast.

every one attending brings booze, some food or snacks and possibly a game.

@chrismaster69

Don't lie. You spend it at the Torture Garden... 😕😂

[ChrisMaster69]

@PrettyPriya shhhhhhn you are not supposed to know stuff like that.

Also we had looked at going but we’re more concerned about lockdowns or 1 or more not being able to make it.

@chrismaster69

Yeah, I have a feeling lockdowns are going to be an issue. All I hear about right now. No matter, we all make the best of what we can! ❤️

[ChrisMaster69]

@PrettyPriya thank you for MHG, much appreciated 🍾🕺

[Leonharted]

I work 10 day stretches, followed by 4 days off. There are no days when we are not providing electricity. Thus far, in my career, my schedule has worked out that I get Thanksgiving and Christmas off, but need to work New Year's and Independence Day. I also work 3rd shift, meaning that I work from 11pm to 6 am. So I will be at work.

[PrettyPriya]

At least you get some holidays to spend with family/friends! I'm sure you are looking forward to Christmas. 😊

[Leonharted]

Absolutely. I'll take Thanksgiving and Christmas with family over New Year's and the 4th of July, no question. Better food, and a closer, more personal atmosphere.

[PrettyPriya]

Good point! I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Cheers!

[Leonharted]

You too!

[Cynicaldreamer]

Binge watching old Twilight Zone episodes on the Sci-fi channel (they have a 24 hour marathon every New Years Eve), eating tasty food, then going to bed-

It sounds boring, but the new year is going to come, no matter what you do or don't do, so I do what makes me happy: relaxing at home.

[PrettyPriya]

@Cynicaldreamer

So long as you do what makes you happy, that is all that matters. 😊

[Cynicaldreamer]

It does! :)
You have any special plans this year, other than hang out on GaG?

[PrettyPriya]

@Cynicaldreamer

I have plans with friends. Nothing big but just a excuse to have a get together. 👍

[SexyPetite]

While I do spe d it with my S. O. my partner dad and myself volunteer for our local rescue squad so that others on our first aid squad can go out and party.

[PrettyPriya]

That is a wonderful thing to do! Very unselfish and must feel good to close out and start a new year with a good deed. 😊

[SexyPetite]

@PrettyPriya. It dose feel good. I get to spend the night at my own house with the people I love. And we set up a little party of our own. Just alcohol free. We grab an ambulance from our squad building and keep it at our house so our response time is only a minute. And for the most part we usually only have to lock up my dog so he doesn't eat any of the snacks. Lol

[PrettyPriya]

@SexyPetite

Well it is a very kind thing to do and I hope it is a safe and happy time for you all.

Enjoy! ❤️

[SexyPetite]

I see your in health care as well. May you have a safe and happy holidays this year and all to follow

[SecretsofKB]

Usually, with something fun with friends.

This year, I drew the short straw and will be working Christmas and New Years.

[Paris13]

I am in LDR with My Fiance so We Bring it In Together with a Drink and Also Do Our Earth cams and Talk of the Year and Things. xxoo

[humpbackjack]

I hang at home and my wife makes some special dinner that’s supposed to bring good luck my kids will sometimes make an appearance before they go hang out with their friends oh yeah and the only part of the dinner I’ll eat is corn beef and black eyed peas everything else is gross and really I don’t like black eyed peas that much

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Usually with friends doing fireworks and playing board games cause we are nerds like that lmao

[PrettyPriya]

@ez-bri-z

Yes, but as long as you start the new year doing what you enjoy... that is all that matters! 😊

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Mmhmm! I hope you have a great new years yourself over there!

[PrettyPriya]

@ez-bri-z

Why thank you kindly. I will! ❤️

[DonkeyDan]

@ez-bri-z
Oh, you just reminded me, I need to order some fireworks 😂

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Lol glad to help!

[DonkeyDan]

Normally have a dinner party at my place, around 8 to 12 guests. Nothing last year due to lockdown. But hoping to have a few over this year, probably only 6 to 8 of us. Drinking, eating, games and maybe a spot of debauchery 😂

[MikeTheBartender]

I always travel. I spend it in a different city or country each year.

[PrettyPriya]

@MikeTheBartender

Are you headed somewhere this year as well?

[MikeTheBartender]

Always :)

[priyakigaandme]

I likes 25th December Night Most in the Year and Christmas is My Favorite Holiday 🎄🎋🎈🎭

I enjoy New Year Eve more than the New Year, Some Years Ago I used to have Crazy Time with My friends on (((((( 31st Night 📢)))))))

[Aerissa_Jade]

Usually go home to visit family and we'll have a little family party, playing games late and just catching up.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I've always hosted large parties until the darned pandemic broke out.
We'll still have 'em except they won't be big.

[Sam2021]

we are in lockdown, strict lockdown. somebody come get me lol

[PrettyPriya]

Lol that made me laugh. Yeah, it may be tough this year with the ways things are trending.

I hope you enjoy a nice new year regardless!

[Wise4myage]

i'll be chilling with some friends around a bonfire. 🔥
How bout you Priya.

[PrettyPriya]

@Wise4myage

This year, I will spend it with friends. 😊

[Wise4myage]

Nice!

[AviatorTom]

My SO goes to bed at the usual time, around 10pm. I stay up, watch the ball drop on TV from Times Square and then go to bed.

[Clairvear69]

We have big restrictions with country lockdown again.

[PrettyPriya]

Yes, I’m hearing more and more of this. Sad we cannot all celebrate like we want.

Hopefully, despite the situation around the world, you can still find some happiness in ringing in the new year. Cheers!

[PrettyPriya]

@clairvear69

I see another notification for a response to legendaryicon. This user has blocked me for not giving MHO to him.

It is quite funny as I gave MHO to @SexyPetite for her volunteerism on New Years. I believe this is the first interaction I have had with that user.

So, hardly biased. 😊

[Sam2021]

nederlands?

[legalboxers]

Im usually in Times Square with the rest of the world :)

[PrettyPriya]

@legalboxers

I assume that is quite the experience with that many people. Will they have restrictions due to COVID?

[legalboxers]

@PrettyPriya so they say.. Its like REALLY BAD here again. I go every year. I didn't go last.. I may skip this. I may just go do my usual photography early then come back home a few days. I dont know yet.

[Rachelle_256]

I may end up working so probably eat something and go to bed

[douride2]

I have a friend who ay come over for a drink. Other then that I will be sound asleep when the bells strike midnight.

[nawtee_me]

usually it is at a bar drinking but not this year. I am on call Christmas weekend and off for New Years. So it will be with family instead.

Happy New Years my friend...

[DJB72]

Last year I hid under my new wheelchair and hoped 2021 was going to be less insane than the previous twelve months. This year I intend to face it balls to the wall - asleep.

[exitseven]

One of the local TV stations always shows the Three Stooges and I usually watch that.

[zagor]

I quit making a big deal about NYE before I was 30. Pretty much like every other eve now, except the stores close early.
