I have anticipatory butterflies in my stomach because this New Year's Eve is going to be WILD!

[LuckyCharms]

For the first time in years, I'm going to attempt to stay awake past 8:30 PM.

[Irish_Dem]

1. Don't get carried away Lucky.

[LuckyCharms]

2. Going to try to make it to 8:45...wish me luck! Happy new Year!

[Irish_Dem]

3. Wow, you are on the wild side tonight.

Good luck! And Happy New Year!

[True Dough]

4. This encapsulates you, Lucky:

[LuckyCharms]

5. LMAO

Yep!

[Marthe48]

6. I woke up at 6:30

and wondered if I would be cheating if I took a nap so I can stay up til midnight?

[EYESORE 9001]

8. I've done that, and I don't feel a bit bad about it

If it means feeling energized ‘round midnight, why the heck not?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. I need a nap so I can stay up til 9pm.

[quaint]

7. Happy New Year, LuckyCharms!

One of the advantages of being a West Coaster is celebrating on East Coast time. Be thinking if you at 9 pm pst.

9. When we both hit 75, we started celebrating based on

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which works out to 5:00 p.m. where we are.

10. after moring meds mrrow . me sleep in . first though , remt check, above all ease , pay the rent.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. We practiced last night...

We stayed up until 12:30. This morning we both have headaches.

[Wicked Blue]

18. It amazes me that I can wake up feeling hung over without drinking

simply by staying up late.

[Trueblue Texan]

20. Oh...we drank too! LOL! nt

[DownriverDem]

12. Same with the Lions game

Moved to the couch then ended up in bed watching the game. Dozed off a couple of times, but woke up to see the Lions beat the 49ers! Tonight will be the same and will hear fireworks and gun shots while in bed.

[chouchou]

13. Not to worry..My neighbores love to set off fireworks WAY into the early mornings....They'll keep you up!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. I will watch the fireworks on television.

London and Paris celebrate the new year at a decent hour, then I can sleep.

I'm sure the New York celebration will be great, and I will catch it on re-runs tomorrow morning.

Cheers!

[Niagara]

16. I still don't know what I'm wearing to the Living Room tonight

for New Years Eve

I might not even go.

[Marthe48]

21. LOL

You can't go wrong if you stay in the kitchen, by the food! lol Happy New Year!

[Niagara]

25. I'm working tomorrow so my bedtime will be between 8:30 to 9:30 tonight as usual

Happy New Year, Marthe48!

[Wicked Blue]

17. The Estonian community here celebrates New Year's eve midnight

on Estonia time, seven hours earlier.

If I go, and that's a big IF, we watch one of their tv stations on a big screen and welcome the new year with the people in Estonia at 5 p.m. NJ time. It's a huge relief for us oldsters who can't stay up till midnight, local time.

[Bluebelle76]

26. Great idea!

Most of my long-dead ancestors were from the UK, with others from northern Europe. I can just celebrate on GMT. Does anyone know when London celebrates? I'm in the Central time zone.

[Sneederbunk]

19. The fireworks always wake me up.

[Mr.Bill]

22. One of the benefits of living on the left coast is

staying up until only 9:00 to see the ball drop in Times Square.

I'll try again to make it.

[Old Crank]

24. But, but, but....

That means I have to stay up until 6 AM to see it drop in Germany.....

[NNadir]

23. I fully expect that 2025 will be nothing to celebrate. When, and if, I wake up, unavoidably it will be 2025.

Nothing can be done to stop it.

[Harker]

27. G'night, Lucky...

Resolute New Year!

[LuckyCharms]

28. Goodnight, Harker.

Best wishes for a good 2025!
