   Ok so what year are you asking about?  Hee hee   Because there were SOME years when yes I did. If I was not out at a party, my family and I would go out and bang pots and pans to hoot in the new year or shoot off fireworks.
   In the last five years, I have pretty much been sawing logs at midnight and welcomed it in the next morning.....O, dear, I guess I am not 12 any longer

      Lol ...yes...talking about most recent years! Now, back in the day I could stay up until 3:00 a.m. and still get up and go to work.  What am I talking about...if I can stay up late working on HP stuff, I should be able to...

   It depends on whether or not there's anything good to watch on TV before midnight. If I get into a good movie or football game, I can stay awake long enough to turn the channel to the NYC ball drop.

   I found a very easy solution to this...
   
   Play Monopoly.
   
   A game with three or more people can last a few hours or more

   I have never missed the midnight celebration on New Year's Eve. Most of the time I'm asleep by 1:00, but it's always fun to ring in the year

    I do it every year.  We have a church service where we pray the old year out and the new year in.  We have preaching, prayer, music and a dinner before midnight.
