Happy New Year! All the best to everyone, let's hope 2025 brings good things. No celebrations for us tonight, I will be tucked in in bed, hopefully asleep. We will have a New Year's supper tomorrow.

Edit to add - the picture is by Shaylas Art Sanctuary - I follow her page on FB.

Still being destroyed by this man cold (special thanks to the twins for passing this on, even though they fought it off in 2 days and I'm going on day 6) and I'm fresh out of Dayquil.

We did however, just book a couple days at Loon for my 40th. The twins have been dying to ski again, and my daughter wants to give it a whirl this time. I actually just got off the phone with an adaptive ski program at Loon, so we have an account with them now and my daughter will have her first 1 on 1 lesson with an adaptive ski coach. The plan is to have her start with snowboarding, but if she physically can't do it then she may end up essentially riding on a sled that the coach (and then I) will commandeer for her. We will see how it goes! I'm very excited, also a little nervous. I still remember all the ski trips I went on with my father when I was a kid, so I get the warm fuzzies when I think of continuing it down through my kids.
 
Thank God CNN wised up and will let Anderson and Andy drink tonight. Best part of NYE.

College football all day, lots of good snacks, and 2 drunk daddies to close out the year

Chuck dont know if your kids ever rode the mountain coaster there but it’s a blast.

I have done the Attitash coaster but Vail demolished it when they took over. That one was really good. I know Cranmore has one too, not sure of any others. I only have 1 thrill seeker in our trio, and he wants to try a mountain coaster so badly. We are considering extending our stay another night actually, so if we do i will have to find a mountain coaster for the kids to try.

Shedding any sense of obligation to have New Year’s Eve plans is one of adulthood’s very greatest gifts perhaps above any other

Just opened a fresh little of wine, took some chicken wings out of the oven that have been marinating for 48 hours. Mac and cheese cups. Chicken parm calzone with homemade cutlets.

I can’t believe there are people who pay for the privelage of standing in line to go out
 
Happy New Year, everyone.

I hope 2025 is filled with many blessings. Health, happiness, and love.

Today is also my late grandmother's birthday. She would of been 102. Our tradition was to always stay home, eat Chinese food and sing Happy Birthday. We've continued that tradition since her passing in 2013. It's a solemn day for me since then, but I'm always hopeful the new year and season brings all the health and happiness one needs.

I walked over to the pub, had a pint, watched some college ball, ordered nearly every appetizer on the menu and hauled it back to the dining room table for anyone who wants to drop in throughout the night except advanced analytics nerds

We do so much hosting during the holidays. It’s a lot of work. NYE we tend to reserve for just us, although others know our door is always open if they need somewhere to go.
 
Is there anything more unanimously agreed upon in humanity that NYE is lame?

I've never really seen the point to celebrating it. Just flipping another page on the calendar. :dunno:

Instead I'll be home trying to keep the dog from going nuts with all the fireworks. Some loony tune has been setting them off the last couple nights here already.

I love a celebration, and I love a fresh page. I just prefer to do it quietly, at home, in my pjs with no bathroom lines or surge pricing on Ubers to get home :laugh:

Agree. I read last year where some people who went to Times Square actually wore diapers because of the bathroom situation or rather lack thereof. How on earth is that fun??? Eeewww

Times Square is my nightmare on a random Tuesday afternoon in April, forget NYE.

NO THANK YOU PLEASE
