I have seen in every Year since I was 10, and tonight plan to do the same, working on my knitting or mending, may-be writing a ;letter or 2 as I see the old year out. Rather dull activity, but then waiting on the passage of time is just that.
Time was it could be alot of fun, getting a new outfit,
meeting up with friends, all those things that go with being young and single on a New Years Eve. Many decades later I still take great pleasure in counting the times I have seen the New Year in, have never seen the spectacle of times Square, other than on TV. Don't think I would even want to be there. Most certainly hasn't been a goal, simply being awake, sober enough to read my watch{ back in the day when I wore a watch} at Midnight December 31st was enough.
Happy new Year!!!
may if be filled with good times, good things and good friends.
