We've gotten fairly tame in our advanced years. We will be at home this year as opposed to someone else's house. We've got 2 families coming over, along with their kids. Fortunately for us they were smart enough to stop at 1 and 2 kids respectively
I'm going to break out the turkey fryer and whip up a few different kinds of chicken wings (prolly a spicy Buffalo, BBQ, a Cajun and maybe a Southern Fried) and they're going to bring along some side dishes and appetizers. A little wine, a little whisky, a little beer and the cliched glass of champagne after the ball drops.
We'll have the 4th annual cut-throat guys vs. gals Trivial Pursuit tourney, in which we are undefeated. I hope that it will help keep me awake once the clock moves past that 11:00 hour when my urge to crash on the couch will set in.
There are just too many idiots on the roads to risk heading out anymore, especially with kids in tow. Hartford actually does a great First Night celebration with different 1/2hr.-ish events, concerts and shows in various venues (so that you can attend a bunch and many are kid-friendly) through out the city followed by a huge fireworks display at midnight. As if hauling a bunch of kids around wasn't trying enough, the drunks on the road after that make the decision easy.
