This year's New Year's was great. I just hung out with my sister and 2 of her kids. We watched a zombie marathon on tv and just goofed off. It would have been even better if her 17 year old had been there, but she was with her boyfriend, lol.

I already posted my fave on my blog, but this year was nice. Just snuggling up for an early night with my other half after a week of broken nights courtesy of our youngest being poorly!
Every New Year's for the last five years because it's when I married my hubby. :)
Going to grab me this new book.
The new year's memory I love the most is when my then boyfriend proposed to me. It had pretty much been the worst day ever and that totally just turned it on it's ear. The only day that beats it is my wedding day :)

Most of my New Year's revolve around my family. I've always enjoyed being with my family. I don't have any big time memory to write about.

Nothing really memorable, but a good time anyway...just spent it with family, watching TV and having some snacks, not even an alcoholic drink since I was trying to get over a cold ;}

I remember once when I was about 12we actually had family friends over and played games and ate and drank (soda in my case)until midnight. It was the only time I can remember having others over for New Years.

I went to a CD release concert this year to support the band (and hey, we were on the CD as well, though you'd never be able to single out our voices, which is a good thing, in my case anyway) :) richnkathy718 (at) msn (dot) com
I posted on another blog my favorite memory of my first taste of champagne. this year I will admit it got lost in just living. i didn't eeven realize that it was new years eve till almost 8:30 in the evening. lol

Happy new year!

My favorite New Years memories are from playing board games and cards at my brother's house on New Year's eve.

I have never been one to stay awake to bring in the New Year - but when I was 21 years old, my best friend drug me out with her husband and friends to a pub to a New Year's Eve party that was really quite fun, so I'd have to choose that one, since it was my only experience *chuckle*
Thank you so much for the giveaway chance!

My New years memory was watching my Mom perform an old German custom she learned from her Mom. Have champagne in one hand & pickled herring in another( yes, I know it’s gross). At 12 am, eat the herring and chase it with the champagne. It’s an old wives tale that is supposed to bring luck all thru the year.

Congrats on the release of No Dress Required. I just bought it but haven't read it yet. My favorite memory was when I was a teenager and my mom let me stay up late and see the ball drop. for the first time. I also had my first taste of champagne.

My favorite NYE memory was my first one in Chicago. The fireworks downtown were gorgeous especially when they were reflected in Lake Michigan.

We usually dont celebrate New Years but this year we did. And it was fun and i enjoyed it! My family and i watch superhero movies, ate snacks and had a drink. It was nice, laid back and so fun! Definitely a favorite memory. ;) Thank you! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Cari! I usually have a quiet new years eve and day. Plenty of time to reflect and set goals for a clean slated year.
I don't really have a favorite New Years Eve memory, I usually spend them with family and they are pretty quiet. We usually have a nice meal, prepare a bunch of snacks, watch movies all night or play games and then toast in the New Year at midnight. That's how I've spent the last decade or so...lol

One of my fav New Year’s Eve was when I was in the Navy and me and my roommates invited about 100 people over and they all showed up and brought more guests. It was everything you can imagine it would of having that many sailors in one place. It wasn’t much longer after many of us shipped out to Iraq.

Great excerpt!
We did the usual...hubby slept, daughter and son were on the computers and I was reading!

This year the husband and I had a quiet evening at home to bring in the new year. We spent Dec 26-30 in New Orleans. While we were there, we took a couple of plantation tours and a haunted vampire tour in the French Quarter. On all of these tours, they mentioned where scenes from Interview with a Vampire were filmed. Since the husband and I hadn't seen Interview with a Vampire, we watched it on NYE. It was fun to notice the place we had seen in the movie. After the movie we watched the ball drop, drank some port and went to bed.

My favorite New Years memory us the birth of my son. Ok, so he didn't make New Years Day.... he still takes his own sweet time to this day.
riane at kinkybookreviews dot com
We usually spend the evening inside with family and friends, lots of good eats...playing cards (poker) and listening to music until the ball's about to drop. Then the wine is poured, toasts made, kisses shared...and then the party usually continues for a little while longer. Those that drank a little too much, or came without a designated driver snuggle in for the night...that's just how we play. Better safe than sorry. :) Happy 2012!

My birthday is NYE and one of my sisters is NYD so we have a combined birthday party at midnight.

My best NYE - We had a party for our friends and family. We could see the high school fireworks from our backyard. We all had a great time being together. Almost all the food was gone and the drinks...well there weren't any left..lol Those who needed to spend the night found a piece of floor and blankets and we had breakfast the next morning...some not so much LOL
Great Blog Hop. Hope you will blog at KP sometime.

My favorite NYE memory is the one I spend with my now husband. We went out with my best friend and her (then) husband. It was horrible. They fought the whole night but at one point during all that craziness he leaned over and told me that he loved me.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

My fav was when I went to ecuador to spend time with the family and see how they celebrated new year's.
mythic021@gmail.com
Every year, my best friend and her husband throw a massive NYE party. After almost everyone leaves, I sit around with some of my best friends, (we don't see each other nearly as much as we'd like to),and we just talk about the year just passed, good memories -- it's just a wonderful way to celebrate, and we've made it an annual ritual.
Thanks for the giveaway and have a Happy New Year!

Spending it with my mom. I miss her now that she's passed and all the little things she used to do.

My favorite New Year's memory is when I was around 7 year's old and my best friend and I stayed up through the New Year all the way up until around 4am. We were the happiest 7 year old's ever! Our parents were too wasted to even notice! lol

Growing up and spending New Years Day with my family are extra special memories now that my parents are gone.
suz2@cox.net
I spent this NYE with my teenage son hanging out watching movies. Very low-key but I had a great night.
My favorite memory is actually a tradition that takes place in my home country of Brazil. For New Years, the color of your clothing represents what you want for the new year. For example, many Brazilians wear white for peace and inner calm, but you see a few wearing red for passion or pink for love, some wear green in hopes of earning more that year as well. Every year i'm excited to see what colors people decide to wear on New Years, and I love getting together at the end of the year to see if their wishes came true.
Favourite memory is spending New Years day with family playing cards and eating a a turkey dinner with all the trimmings
My favorite new years was when I had a fun and crazy party with friends last year, the champagne was literally flowing everywhere!

This year, Dick Clark.
Thanks for the great opportunity. My New Year's have all been pretty tame and spent in the company of family and friends. We have people from out of town, usually family visiting from Mexico. We do the grapes and certain other traditions, depending on what we want to focus for that year. It's all about new beginnings.

I haven't really had any exciting NYE memories but I guess being able to hang with my family and watch musicians perform on TV and the ball drop is pretty exciting. Get to play a nice game of Trivia Pursuit, too, lol!
supersonic182@gmail.com
My favorite memory is watching the Tournament of Roses Parade. We do it every year since I was a little girl.
Thank you for the wonderful contest.
I hope you have a very prosperous New Year.

My favorite new year's eve memory is from my childhood, when my parents took my sister and me to the capital just to see the firework. I was so happy - I hadn't traveled that much before and we all liked it.
Thanks for the giveaway and happy new year!
