What are you doing for New Year's Eve?

DM718

Just wondering - we've always taken a trip, but that's not in the cards this year.  It's about time to start some new traditions, and what better way to do that than to steal ideas from you lovely ladies.

We're going down to my IL's after we drop my SD off at home. We'll spend the night down there and play games and watch tv and eat. I think it'll be fun. Usually we have a party to go to but those plans are out this year!

Skrittens

Nothing ;(. My H has to work on New Years Day so we didn't plan anything. I'll probably have my monthly red wine and fall asleep.

CoozieInMyPurse

Another one staying at home this year (like the past few years). No desire to go out, plus we must stay and protect the scaredy cat 80 lb dog from the fireworks (which are absurd at our house).

colleen4019

Flying home ( we've been in Ireland since the 14th. Time to revisit reality.

graciest719

Got my sparkling cider today! We are staying home. I'm actually terrified to be on the roads with other people.

Probably just hanging out at a friends house. Me and DH are both off wed-fri so honestly I am more focused on getting an appt with my new OB (insurance changes on the 1st) on Friday and finishing up my registries than what I am doing on the actual holiday. With that being said, I just realized this is the last long break from work I will have before DD is born so maybe DH and I will do something nice just the two of us.

Staying at home with my hubs and my son. New Years is one of the most overrated holidays ever!

ngolimento

Sleeeeeeping. It will be glorious, and I'll see if I can arrange an extra loud snore when the ball drops.

No promises!

sdion27

We're having a party at our house so I don't have to go out anywhere

okayestmom12

Eating junk food and passing out by 9. Wild and crazy over here.

For many years, I (now we) have gone to the same New Years party thrown by family friends.  They have a high floor penthouse with a perfect view of fireworks, and they throw the best parties--fancy and comfortable/fun at the same time.  So I'll be draping my belly in something sparkly, putting on the low wedges that pass as my nice shoes these days, and drinking that Martinelli's until the wee hours   I've spent so much of this winter break in my pajamas that I'm really looking forward to it, actually.

mariahd43

Headed to see some friends for a couple hours in the early evening. Then, headed home to relax and pop a bottle of sparkling grape juice

Well my mom would like my SO and i to go to the local gay bar that she goes to every once in a while (cuz the drag queens are ever so eager to meet her pregnant daughter and her handsome boyfriend hahaha for real though that's what they were yelling into my mom's phone the other night when she went) Anyway I'm a super eager to please daughter and my mom has been going through some depression stuff so i have pretty much agreed to it without asking him. He is totally fine with going to a gay bar but it's the "my pregnant girlfriend going out to a really busy bar at 7 months pregnant" thing that he might be a little hesitant about especially considering we will have both worked that night until about 10 or so. I would much rather get off work and come home and just hang out on the couch in front of the TV considering that neither of us drink at all anyway, pregnant or not. So I'm hoping she decides that she doesn't want to go lol *crosses fingers*

Stay at home in bed probably defiantly before midnight. Maybe if I feel up to it watch a movie with the family.

Aeml1985

I work until 7pm and then again at 7am so probably not a lot. We invited a couple over but I doubt they'll come since I'm pregnant and boring.

sunset30

I too am staying home with my husband.....I'll probably cook a nice (but hopefully somewhat healthy) dinner for us, and then we'll work on our goals for 2015 and go to bed early to get a strong start to 2015. We're so exciting....haha.

Can't wait for 2015 to start - feel like its a turning point to getting closer to our baby getting here!

Whitfry

Hopefully snuggling on the couch with a great movie.

mommyofkaylin

We've had a tradition since my dd was born. We stay in, I make prime rib, and we just hang out.

mamajack86

We got a babysitter for the evening. I decided to take one for the team and be DD from the restaurant to our friends house. Fortunately I'm not the only sober one, there's about 3 of us, so hopefully it will be fun.

rowboat4

As of right now we have no plans, so probably just staying in. Or we'll go see a movie, and then stay in.

chelc32188

I work that night - and it's my Wednesday to close the bar - so I'll be working. I was initially super bummed, but the money will be good, and I'd be the DD for our group of friends anyways, so why not make some extra money?!

DM718

@Whitfry‌ & @Mrsanders2013 - movie night sounds great. Will have to check out what is playing.

@chelc32188‌ i wish i could pick up some extra cash on holidays. Maybe its time to take up babysitting again?

cafecreme

Staying home. Probably making a nice Italian dinner or something like that. I'll give a pot to DD to bang on right before she goes to bed. 

noodlienoodles

Dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant with a couple friends. I'm so excited! Eat all the pasta...

rowboat4

@DM718‌ we will probably end up seeing either mockingjay or into the woods. Those are the only two movies out that we are wanting to see. We already saw the hobbit.

chelc32188

@DM718 - I consider it my "fun money" job - but sometimes I make more there in tips in 1 week then I do at my part time job! It is SO nice !!

ohana112610

No plans and sleeping sounds good.. Sleep it is! Haha 

sweaver93

Assuming we get some rain and it's not too cold, my dd's and I will go to my parents house and do some fireworks. We will also probably get some chilis to go and come home for a movie night watching whatever they choose. We got them some apple juice and me some sparkling cider, they are super excited and it's adorable. A few moms in my town are having a moms with nothing to do night, since all of them are pregnant but holy cow they are drama llamas so we probably won't go to that.

TweedleDee3

We have 3 friends coming to stay with us for 3 nights starting Wednesday. I'm dreading it and will have no shame in going to bed early if I'm tired. I do hope to make some yummy appetizers and just watch the ball drop, we will probably play games too. Hoping for Cards Against Humanity.

LBeez13

Nothing. Drinking sparkling grape juice while my hubby works overtime. I'll indulge and read my book and watch TV In bed while sipping my drink.

LBeez13

Ohhh also...... for those of you with kids who want to stay up until midnight but they are too young, Netflix has a countdown show where you can trick your kids into thinking it's midnight earlier than midnight. I saw an article about it today.

Jlr025

Hanging out at home with SO and probably falling asleep before midnight! He has to work the next day so he will be happy with a couch and movie night too. We usually go out to our friends party or a bar, but I couldn't be less interested in any of that this year!

shlittertoots

Watching a movie with MH and DD, eating some appetizers, and treating myself to a glass of champagne--the real stuff

Clobert

We might drive down to dc from philly and try to go to a party, but dh has to work a half day on nye , so we might have to stay here.  Last year was low key, we just went to the waterfront to watch the fireworks at midnight.  It's hard thinking of something to do while pregnant, but I'm not quite ready to just watch the ball drop on tv - maybe next year.  

jaspears0816

I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding, the last big thing before the little guy is here. Just hoping I can do my job all day and still make it til 1am!

hydrangeablue

We always stay in and cook a special meal together. We'll also marathon a show on Netflix until we fall asleep...usually before midnight.

gnomemom

DH and I will probably stay up late (you know, like 10:30) and play a video game or board game. Or maybe we'll watch The Interview. We're very exciting people.

ashleyrh661

Since we had a DS we have made a little tradition of ordering in our favorite Thai food and watching movies. I may or may not make it to midnight.

DragonflyDreaming

We had the most fun getting a group together to play boardgames all night /nerds. This year, we are in Istanbul, but will not probably be doing fireworks since I seem to turn into a pumpkin around 9-10pm, these days.

LadySnowblood

We're just going to grill out and watch a movie.
