What do you do for New Year’s Eve & Day? Typically. Do you throw a party, go to one? Stay up late? Do you make resolutions? We don't do anything. Just a regular ol' day for us. We do stay up to midnight but as we've gotten older, gets a bit harder lol I don't make resolutions anymore. I just keep trying to challenge myself on a regular basis.

Hope everyone has a peaceful New Year. No plans for me at all, except for staying home, cuddling with the kitties and working on a new theme for my board.

earthsky.org/human-world/why-the-new-year-begins-on-january-1/"Our celebration of New Year’s Day on January 1 is a human-made creation, not precisely fixed by any natural or seasonal marker. It’s a civil event, not one defined by nature. Yet, for us in the Northern Hemisphere – where daylight has ebbed to almost its lowest point and the days are starting to get longer again – there’s a feeling of rebirth in the air. That’s probably why New Year’s resolutions are so popular. So where does the New Year’s Day concept come from? It stems from an ancient Roman custom, the feast of the Roman god Janus, who was the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. This is also where the name for the month of January comes from, since Janus was depicted as having two opposite faces. One face looked back into the past, and the other peered forward to the future, just like how on January 1, we can look back at the year that just ended, and look forward to the new year that lies ahead. There was no equivalent of Janus in Greek mythology. To celebrate the new year, the Romans made promises to Janus. This is where the tradition of making New Year’s Day resolutions comes from. On that day it was customary to exchange cheerful words of good wishes. Shortly afterwards, on January 9, the rex sacrorum offered the sacrifice of a ram to Janus...." My notes: I never knew why it started on Jan. 1 either lol

I recall staying up many New Year's Eves and watching Dick Clark count it down in Time Square at midnight.

We typically don't do anything special and almost always are asleep when the New Year comes crashing through!
