What are your plans for new years?  Have you any traditions?

I am off on new years eve, but have to work new years day.

my DH says we must exit the back door (i think with a lump of coal?) and re enter through the front door.

My husband (DH) also works New Years Day, and I'm not a late night person, so we will see in the New Year at 4 PM, which is midnight in England.  We will have a bottle of fizzy and a kiss but that's about the extent of it for us.

I don't bother seeing the New Year in, but will be looking forward more to Jan 2nd when the river in my drive should finally stop flowing!

LOL @ Lyn G!  BTW, I like your new avatar Lyn. Smile

I'll probably be in bed by 10:00pm. LOL. I've never been one to stay up and greet the New Year. It's usually too cold for me to be out on first night, and I can't stand the crowds. Besides, I figure I'll see it soon enough (the new year that is)!

I'm off to a party new years eve. Cant drink though, I'm driving.

The tradition is, make a new years resolution to stop smoking or whatever, and foret it new years day. My resolution is not to make any more new years resolutions. That way I wot break them. He he he.

My cousin used to come round but he has his own place now. Last year our two lots of neighbours from the corner knocked the door and we all stood out in the street and had a real good laugh! I think this year we will be going to bed early though because we are off to Cleeve Hill New Year's Day to see our friends.

Ditto here too Ruth. Was just working out how many people I'll see New Years Eve at work?  My guess, maybe 5 very early in the evening; by 9 onwards, probably none. New Years Day normally go to Winchester to watch the old King Alfred Buses running routes they did over half a century ago.  Then, pop over to the Cathedral for a look around.

Hi Paul:  And since it is New Year's Eve over there, let me be the first to wish you a happy new year!  Wish I had a cathedral to pop over to.  Smile
