I spent evening sewing as usual and my husband in bed sleeping. Same tradition every year. I've never been to New York so never saw ball drop (just on television). Happy New Year to you and your family, may it be a good year for you all. Juanita

I decided on sleep!

I stayed in and watched the TV shows.

Stay in, snuggle. Usually don't make it til midnight. Miss it every time.

Every year we wait on 31.12 (Silvester) together with two other couples for the New Year. First we eat together fondue or other delicios things, then we play every year the same: We wrap things, we don´t need in nice paper and decorate it at home, may be one couple has two small packets another 3 or 4. Then we throw dice for the packets. Which has 6 can take one. If all packets have an owner it is not the end, then everybody which has a 6 can take away one wraped packet from an other.
Only the giver knows whats in. This is going about 30 minuts than one after the other unwraped a packet to see what is in it. Sometimes you can use it sometimes it is for the garbage. We have allways a lot of fun. This year I got a calendar for 2015, a candle and a shaker.
About 15 minuts befor new year we switch on the TV for the countdown. Mostly we sit after together until 2.00 in the morning.

Since my 49 yr old was a 6 mo old we have gotten together with friends & family to play cards, eat left over & watch the ball drop. All of my mom's friends (as well as mom & dad) are gone now, but we still do the same!! One time our youngest missed it as he was on a mission trip out of country; this yr. our oldest wasn't able to get off work to come from VA. But we made sure to call him at midnight! Our 3 yr old made it til midnight, but Carrie (the almost 9 mo old) just couldn't make it! She was so sound asleep when Michael put her in the car seat & then took her out at home, she didn't move! A good family time & one of our traditions.

It was miserable cold last night with lots of sleet and ice so i stayed in. The city practically shuts down when we have any type of frozen weather. It's still bad today and the newscasters asked everyone to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. I shall take their advice

Well Hubby went to bed early as always. I sat here crocheting and watched the Moon Pie drop in Mobile.Al. on TV. Finally went to bed at 3 AM and back up before 7. Not much celebrating here but thanking God for giving us yet another year./Lillian

Not sure what the 'ball drop' is as I am in the UK. Last night my husband went to bed early as he usually does and at 11pm I went to my daughters which is about 2km away. I let the new year in with her and her husband and then about 12.30 went back ho

Mobile, AL has a Moon Pie drop (the cookie they throw in the Mardi Gras parades) and somewhere up the eastern short they were showing on tv had a crab drop!

My hubby cooked a traditional southern New Year's meal, much of which I don't eat - pork roast, collards (green for money coming into your hands), black-eyed peas (luck) and corn bread because, well, because it's corn bread! We're not drinkers, so it was an early evening here, just before midnight I gave up and went on to sleep. I knew it was midnight by the fireworks.

Went to my youngest sons and went to church with them. The Church showed the movie "Left Behind" with Nicholas Cage. Then had fireworks and a pancake breakfast. We got home about 1:30, latest we had been up in many years.
