Today’s question: What New Year Traditions, if any, do you observe and will the
current state of things have any bearing on those traditions this coming year?
Thru the years traditions changed from festive parties to outdoor celebrations
reference ‘First Night’ with its huge selection of entertainment, amazing
finely-carved ice sculptures and grand finale display of beautiful fireworks.
As children left the nest a few couples gathered at my countryside home to
partake in a delicious Surf ‘n Turf extravaganza. Following the meal we’d
sit by the fireside chit-chatting sipping champagne awaiting the ball to
drop at Times Square ringing in the New Year.
Nice memories!!
All the above was replaced years later due to age and circumstances.
If fortunate we older folks managed to stay awake until 12:00 a.m.
I guess the one big change is this year I likely will spend the holidays alone.
Virtual replacement is no match for real-life celebrations.

I find it difficult to stay awake that long. If I do , I’ve a lot of trouble going to sleep.

I usually don’t make it to midnight either. LOL Strange sleep patterns as we age – no choice other than accept and refrain from becoming upset. Who knew? Nobody informed me. 🙂

Yup nobody did, but we saw our parents and grandparents go through this phase. I actually like to sleep early so that I can wake up early too.
