What's your favorite way to celebrate New Years Eve? Which one was your most memorable?

Personally, I'm a New Years Eve PARTY POOPER. From Halloween, through Thanksgiving...through Christmas...we plan, we decorate, we party...by 12/31...I'm tired of it all...and one more party is just not my cup of tea. How about you?

Do you have the energy for one more bash? How do you celebrate? Asked by HELENofTROY 52 months ago Similar questions: favorite celebrate Years Eve memorable Lifestyle > Relationships.

Very low key, but always a blast! My family has always celebrated the same way. We stay home, play board games, and watch movies.

We also eat all kinds of snacks and sometimes try new recipes for appetizers. Around 11:50, we turn the TV on to ABC and watch the ball drop. We drink champagne (and sparking cider for the young ones) and then we all go outside and shout Happy New Year!

We also blow noise makers and my brother blows on his bugle! It is a very stress-free evening where we get to enjoy everyone's company.

Low key, local, with family or friends... We're not big party-people. Two terrific ones were-- My spouses's local family all gathered at his folk's cabin, and we ate simple, family food, watched movies and played games and sat in front of the fire. Lovely, peaceful, pleasant, low-key, low stress.

We went to a neighbor's house to a small party where we carried in food (all good cooks), talked, ate, played interesting board games, then watched the TV at midnight for the count-down. Again, calm, lowkey, fun, pleasant--nice folks, no stress.

My favorite way was to celebrate with family and friends at home. I don’t like having to travel on a night when everyone is drinking more than usual. It’s nice, warm and relaxing to enjoy the company of loved ones while laughing and conversing in front of a big screen t.v.

Waiting for the ball to drop. You’re right, it is exhausting after so many holidays in a row. New Years for me is a time to relax and reflect on the past year.My most memorable was the year I went to Times Square with my then husband and his parents who had never experienced a New Years in this country.

We parked miles away from T.S., walked to a subway station which was packed with revelers, and walked some more to find a good spot on the street. It was freezing cold and windy.My cheeks were red and raw. I was regretting not having worn a cap.

The energy from the crowd was electric and helped warm me somewhat. Everyone was so tightly packed together. Even so, my teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

The experience is awesome and should be tried at least once in your lifetime. I would recommend staying at a hotel in T.S. Walking in the gusty winter winds in New York City with snow and ice on the ground takes a hearty soul which I’m not.

I like to celebrate at home with just my husband *wink, wink*. I mean, is there really any better way to ring in the New Year? We usually make something fun for dinner, get the kids to bed, make some drinks/dessert for us, then we have the rest of the night to ourselves.

I agree with you about being tired by the time New Years Eve rolls around. We celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas, plus Thanksgiving, my birthday, and both my mom and my mother-in-law's birthday, all from the time between Thanksgiving and New Years. We also travel during that time to visit family in NYC and Buffalo.By the time it's New Year's Eve, I'm all tuckered out and am in no mood to host a big party or pay the big bucks to someone to watch our kids.

Call me a wet blanket, but that's one holiday I'm more than happy to spend at home! I do have to say, though, that my craziest New Year's Eve was out and about. When I was in college, we did the whole Times Square thing one year.

It was a party that started early in the day at a friend's apartment in the city, followed by a trek to Times Square (where we ended up blocks away since we didn't feel like getting there too early), where a man tried to rob us at knife point while another guy we'd befriend in our long wait there pulled a knife to defend us (no one was hurt or robbed, and the police got through the crowd pretty quickly and arrested the original attacker). We saw the ball drop. Okay, technically only the first 40 or so seconds as then it fell behind skyscrapers that blocked our view.

That's what you get for showing up at 10 pm! After that, we slowly made our way back, by foot since the trains weren't running, over 30 blocks. We grabbed our stuff, and a whole bunch of us, bleary-eyed but still having fun, went to wait at 4am for the 1st LIRR train of the morning.

It was a silly, crazy day, and was memorable since it was just a bunch of friends out having fun. We were young and carefree and that's that way to do Times Square. I had fun at Times Square when I was 19...it sounds appalling to me now that I'm in my 30's :) What_A_Card's Recommendations Times Square New Years Kit - 25 .

Spend the evening with a couple or two playing games, snacking and toasting the end of one year and new beginnings.

What's the best place to celebrate new years in tahoe or reno.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
