Road Runner Posted December 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 31, 2019 I'm always up at midnight. I don't usually go to sleep until 2 or 3 AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2019 Normally do, and tonight will be no different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted December 31, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 31, 2019 Actually, I've never quite understood the "celebration" of the new year. We don't celebrate new days or weeks or months, so what's the big deal? It's just another day on the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 31, 2019 I usually knock out around 11:00. I’ll stretch it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 31, 2019 Most years I go to whatever bar my brother's band is playing, often our cousin's sportsbar. This year, I'm relaxing at home. I may be awake at midnight, maybe not. If I'm hungry, I may boil that pound of shrimp in the freezer. Tomorrow it's going to be Jan. 1 no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #13 Posted December 31, 2019 Hell, it is already 2020 Down Under, so what's the point???? But sure, I will likely be in bed by 11, and reading until midnight or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted December 31, 2019 Share #17 Posted December 31, 2019 If i go to bed early, the fireworks in the neighborhood will surely wake me at 12 anyway. I'll stay up with the kids, if they want to stay up. We had fun last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted December 31, 2019 Share #20 Posted December 31, 2019 I have an alarm clock that will wake me up - the neighbor's fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted December 31, 2019 Share #21 Posted December 31, 2019 It is looking less and less like I am walking tonight..so I may stay up to midnight...or not...If I walked..everyone would be kicked out of here by 10 pm..4 miles walking in snow is lots of fresh air and not bad exercise either.

BuffJim Posted December 31, 2019 Share #22 Posted December 31, 2019 We’re going to a house party tonight. Have a nearby motel, cause it’s about 30 miles from here and Carla doesn’t want to drive home that far in the snow. My buddy has a crazy niece and nephew so hopefully they aren’t around.

BR46 Posted December 31, 2019 Share #23 Posted December 31, 2019 The little town that I live in pretty much shouts down on new years eve. Every bar will be closed by 10 pm. The bar owners don't want to deal with the drunks and we don't have any public transit, taxi's or Uber. All the bars are with in a 4 block area so the cops have field day. Wo46 and I are meeting up with some friends at the corner bar for drinks and a pizza. We will walk all the 3 blocks there and back when the bar closes at 7 or 8 tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we enjoyed that ball drop back in the 80s. We'd be eating pizza, eating junk food, and drinking soda. Then, we'd watch the last few minutes with the ball drop, and then usually go outside and set off fireworks. It was fun as a pre-teen/young teen. I think it got progressively worse the more he hung around (and the 80s music changed too). Not sure how it played out in the 90s, but I can't imagine it got any better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho smudge lived in Milwaukee early/mid 70's. We met early 80's. I was surprised when he said bars in Milwaukee/WI are open 24hours/day or opened real early. Then he reminded me it's Wisconsin. Well, ya; makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
