Usually, we ignore it’s New Years for the most part. Maybe tune in now and then to watch some of the coverage, or to watch the ball drop in NYC is we are awake. It was easier when we lived in central time.
My husband’s family eats a dozen grapes for good luck in the year, so sometimes I buy grapes, but half the time my husband doesn’t eat them anyway.
A couple of years prior to covid I went out dancing here where I live, but home by 9:30. I didn’t go to a special party, just the usual dancing we have here every night.
When I was younger I some years went to a party or night club or to see friends, and a couple of times with my inlaws, but most years I’ve been home.
I don’t like being out on New Years very much. You’re expected to stay late, you’re expected to kiss (which is fine with my husband, but still I don’t like the expectation) people usually drink too much, the roads aren’t safe driving, cops are out watching the roads or have roads blocks, too many negatives.
