Does anyone still go out to celebrate NYE?

Do any of you still go out for New Years Eve? Be it to someone's home, a club, whatever? Or do you prefer staying at home, as you are pretty well holidayed out?
I last went out when I was back in my 20s. I never was a partier, preferred staying home . I do not often make it a point to stay up and watch any more...usually too tired . Of course, I would guess most of us celebrated with Dick Clark.

What about January 1st? I usually just buy something special to have for dinner. To be honest, due to the storm, I never made it to the store to buy something for a special dinner. May have to make do with what I have on hand here

No Marie, we never really went out anywhere to celebrate. Just stayed home, used to watch the ball drop, but these past years had no interest in that. We're usually in bed by 11, don't stay up until midnight. Neighbors will blow off some fireworks, so I usually don't actually fall asleep until 12:30 ish., just another day really. Happy New Year to you, hope the new year brings you peace, good health and joy. 🧡
 

I will be home, dreading all the fireworks and gun shots, that drive the dogs crazy. I am lucky to be able to keep my dogs in, but there are many out there that will be frightened. Seems like to many do not think about who there actions affect. I want them to be happy. to celebrate but that does not include scaring animals or keeping others from sleep!

I might decide to make a nice soup on NYE. Leisurely chopping veg, greens and herbs to add to a steamy pot of gently simmering broth and meat.

Might be sipping a glass of red wine while toasting baguette to rub with fresh garlic and olive oil to eat with my soup.

Little Doggie at my feet, waiting for cooled off bits of carrot and shredded beef. (or chicken)

Then we'll cozy into my quilts and watch TV.

Substituting cat fir dog friend, that sounds like a plan to me, @RadishRose ! Red wine…. Hm, does white merlot count?
 
One guy on Facebook said "Hey. We're going to have a big bonfire at my place, bring your tree, or unwanted, damaged furniture, we'll have a bonfire party for NYD.

So some person posted the laws and it's pretty obvious she's a Debbie downer.

I don't go out as there's nowhere I'd want to be.

Sorry, @caroln, I took this thread off track, @Texas seemed to be struggling with something. Sometimes we have to ask so give others an opportunity to share.

I will be at a party myself tonight. Unless someone gets plastered and starts hitting on the women or making rude comments, it should be a fun evening.
 
House is ready here for tonight no one but me enters until later, will be recleaned before guests leave all help do it that attend and trash put in cans, this makes it easy on everyone, we start cleaning at 11pm. All will bring something even cleaning supplies, ice, disposal cutlery and plates and cups. From the past we have a list of what is needed. Even take home containers for uneaten food, (doggie bags).
