Hello Everyone and Happy New Year! In my family, we celebrate the New Year by gathering either in person or over the phone (if in person isn't possible). It's a fun time and tends to be lower stress than other holiday gatherings.

What is your favorite New Year's tradition?

    Hello All,

    Our family tradition is to turn on every light in the home 5 minutes before midnight, and we don't turn it off for at least 15 minutes after midnight to give the New Year a "bright" welcome.

    If something has a lightbulb in it, it better be on! 😄

    Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

    I like making a list of projects and deadlines for the new year. I like deadlines, particularly the whooshing sound they make when they go by! 🤣🤣

    Hello everyone and welcome to 2025!

    I don't believe my family really has any traditions regarding New Years Eve, however, there is always a kiss at midnight and a countdown to midnight! Occasionally, we will go out on the town or maybe find a fireworks show, or even just stay home and watch the ball/potato/taco (you name it) drop at midnight. As a matter of fact, embarrassingly, I didn't even make it to midnight this year LOL. I was in bed and asleep by 10:30.
