We have the most boring, er….laid back New Year’s Eve. I’d love to be out among friends, partying. I don’t need a lot of booze, but I’d love to chat and dance and generally have a good time. I’d be totally happy with a group who wanted to sit around and play board games until it was time to usher in the new year.
\nWe traditionally have a quiet night at home. I used to open a bottle of champagne until I realized that DH doesn’t care for it. Now I just have a glass of wine. For years we celebrated by watching every Marx Brother’s movie we have, one after the other. After about 15 years of that I protested, and now we surf to see what’s on TV.
\nThe only time I have ever partied was two years ago at Jamie<\/a> and Speedbump’s.<\/a> I had a great time! On-line friends from England and Scotland flew in and DH and I flew down, and we partied for several days! I suspect that may be the only New Year’s Eve party I will ever attend, so I’m really glad I have good memories of it.
\nI was telling a friend that in the past I would walk out my door at midnight and beat a pot with a wooden spoon to drive away the bad spirits. She said that at the stroke of midnight her mother begins sweeping the floor in her house. She works from one end toward the front door, and sweeps the bad right out the door. The broom is disposed of, never to be used again, and never allowed back into the house.
\nHow will you be celebrating? Maybe you should all plan to come here next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
