HT from Mo Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 We'll probably just have friends over to our house and have dinner. I just don't want to be out on the road with the other nuts.Kiwi,I loved "Wild Hogs" very funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hummmm..don't know! We have two parties today (one at my supervisor's house, one at Pete's boss' house) and then we're going out for a family dinner at Xaviar's Restaurant X as a last bash before my parents head down to Savannah. I think I will be partied out by New Year's Eve.I agree, HT, I don't want to be out on the road with the clueless drunks.Last year, the four of us picked our favorite appetizers and watched some movies together. We've done the party-hotel package deal a while ago. it was fun but too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Playing the symphony's New Years Eve gig, and wondering if LobsterLvr Dave and his new wife will be there.It's a very warm, happy gig. It ends with Auld Lang Syne and everyone, even the musicians, kissing and hugging each other and wishing Happy New Year. It's great because it gets out at about 10 PM before people who've imbibed too much get out on the road.HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! --Love, Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny S. Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Got a gig...a "low dough show"....or i wouldnt even go anywhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 We are having a neighborhood gathering, pretty much the same group for the last couple years about 30+ friends.It was going to be a progressive dinner but the men complained about having to walk down the block. So we will stay at Elaine's.It's a strange year maybe because it is so warm, but we all have been pretty lax in getting it together this year.We still haven't gotten the music together yetEric, you can come and we'll even let you bring your playlists from last year.You were so much heip.

Captain Harlock Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well I'll be dateless again this year. So I'm probably heading to one of my watering holes then over to my friend Kev's. Kev lives right across the street from me so there's no need to worry about me drinking and driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 'Same old lame time' for me. I'll be working, as usual, to give the other (read 'younger') supervisors the night off Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Sister Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hey Danny...where at Kevin and I usually have a prime rib / lobster tail dinner at home, but if you are playing somewhere close by then maybe we might venture out for a while.

Ecstasy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Three of our five kids are adults now so we tend to rotate from house to house each year. This year it's at Chris and Val's (our newlyweds --- second son) so we're all going to descend on their place for the evening. Yeah, I guess some would call it boring 'mom and dad' stuff but we always have a good time together with all the kids and the grandkids, food, games...

AnniekNY Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You know, I asked a lot of people what they were doing as a result of your question ...only one couple is going out to dinner and then to a party and they would rather stay home. Everyone else is spending it at home with the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 That is why we started with the house parties, none of us want to be out driving or paying $300 a head for stale hor dourves and poor quality drinks with strangers, plus I refuse to kiss strangers just because it is midnight. So, my girlfriends and I started planning our own parties, we all bring something,We change houses each year so no one is overwhelmed.We started with four couples, but it grows every year. Most of our kids are grown but the kids are always welcome.Nobody drives, because we all live within walking distance. It's warm so we can spill out to the pool deck for more room. This year will be very low key and casual.An added benefit is we know each other so we are accountable for our behavior, No inappropriate drunks.

Laura Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Staying home. I consider it amateur night on the roads so we usually stay home and watch the New Year come in. If my husband has to plow a half ton of snow that night, then HE will be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollies65 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Watching movies with the worlds greatest 5 year old twins right now...and I'm letting them watch one more after this. Since most of my dating is very casual at the time I won't be having company while my children are here so..I'll be rocking in News Years Eve with sleeping kids and Ryan Seacrist.

The Kiwi Connection Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Sounds like loads of fun Marvin!!!! What "junk Food" do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well Kiwi I don't know if this food will get lost in the translation, but it's not totally 'junk food.' We have lots of different kinds of chips and dip, as well as some finger food such as chicken strips, empanadas, bacon wrapped scallops, and some other stuff that I'm not sure what it is, but it sure tastes great! Top it all off with a smooth lager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 YUMMMMMM. Sounds like the same types of "Party Food" we have here. Lot's of Antipasto Platters. Don't know what empanadas are though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
