Okay gals, what are your plans for ringing in the New Year? I hope everybody here has great visions for grand successes in the upcoming months. I keep praying God will help me fulfill whatever His destiny may be and/or the purpose for my being. I like to think I've survived this long for a reason. What say you????

It has varied each year, depending on where we are. There have been some years where we were vacationing in a mountain resort area and snowshoeing. So time at a restaurant.
In both Vancouver & Toronto we hve sampled their New Year's Eve city celebration at least once.
But most of all, for years we are home, we have a lovely homemade meal with wine and spend time together. I don't have a tv right now...so gotta to think about this...

Good question, and I love all the answers!
At the moment, Steve and I have no plans, other than to stay home and relax. I generally buy a few extra special food items, and we make ourselves a bit of a buffet out of them. So far I think we have a partial box of Nancy's (brand) mini quiches in the freezer, so they will be on the menu. Maybe I'll buy some shrimp, too.
We're only just returned from our Christmas visit to Wisconsin, and my Dad sent some leftover ham with us. So - as much as I am not a fan of ham - Steve likes it. So I'll probably try to incorporate it into one of the dishes I serve.
We usually play games and listen to music, and tune in the TV in time to watch the ball drop at Times Square. Nothing too exciting for us! Sometimes we have friends over, sometimes we just keep to ourselves. So far no one is invited, but that could change.
Like many of you, getting our sleep has become most important. But we will likely stay up to see the New Year in on Central Time -- we'll just sleep in a bit the next morning.

Wow! That Buffalo Ball Drop looks pretty fun! Wish we had one in the Midwest...

Here's a video tip from NABBW Associate Barb Tobias, our Thrifting Expert, on how to make a centerpiece for your New Year's Eve gathering for under five bucks! Hey, who among us doesn't have an old wreath we're dying to re-purpose? Enjoy!
