Are you hitting the town on New Years?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Christmas over, there’s still one more holiday to bid adieu to before opening those new 2009 calendars. Most of us have barely cleaned up the discarded gift wrapping and it’s already time to start thinking about another, New Year’s Eve.
I always get sentimental about New Year’s. No matter what has gone on during the year, it is always absolutely astonishing when December 31 arrives. It seems like the years fly by quicker and quicker.
I used to like going out on New Year’s Eve. Sure you have to pick your way through the inflated priced fixed meals and terrible service, but when you get it right, there’s nothing better. I’ll never forget an amazing meal at Bacchanalia I had probably 10 years ago.
Now, with the kids older (and wallets tighter) we’re less likely to go out. We started a fondue tradition a few years ago and it’s actually fun to be able to include everyone in the celebration. So even though my teenager has more parties than I, we can still try to carve out a little family time before he ditches us for his friends.
What are your plans? Are you staying in or going out? What’s been your most memorable (and printable) end-of-the-year celebration?
