New Year celebrations?
Any suggestions for good places for bringing in the New Year?

At home.
While January 1 brings us one day closer to the golf season, for those of us who are age challenged, who are one year closer to getting the OLD AGE PENSION, and one year closer to a retirement home, the new year is nothing to celebrate. Although it does bring one closer to shooting one's age.
Have fun regardless of where you choose.

We usually don't bother too much either, but we have our kids home and they have been invited to lots of friends parties in Toronto. If I can't think of anything for us all to do that is more party like then they will probably head down there early For the year 2000 we went to Mont Tremblent, that was fun.

I'm ususally at my in-laws, with a belly full of my father-in-law's whisky, asleep.

You two should stop bickering and start early.
I have a feeling that by Sunday I will be in miserable shape due to some up and coming bug waging jihad on my immune system. I like "dub-ya" will not back down, and plan on unleashing the full arsenal of appropriated (from my father) Crown Royal on this microscopic insurgent.

Just planning on drinking you way through a bit of the old c-dificile virus hoolio? I say go for it! Well, you were probably going to end up in the hospital on January 1st anyways.

Well its really the doctors fault, I keep going in with alcohol poisoning and they keep saying "Well I bet you won't do that again eh?"... I'm not a man to back down from a wager, but one of these days I'm gonna have to make them name their stakes. It's really easier said than done with a tube going down your esophagus.

Wow! sounds like nobody is going to hava much of a celebration this year. Home, sick or working. Bah humbug! I found that we used to celebrate a lot more in the U.K. I don't know if that has changed over the years but there used to be huge parties all over the place that you could drop in on.

The problem is if you party one of you has to not party if driving. Not much fun doing that. Either that or you take a cab, which around here on the 31st would take about 2 hours to get to where you are located after you called. Once they got there, a 10 minute ride home would cost $25-40 dollars. RIP OFF. Small city, not many cabs so they call the shots on busy nights.
We stay home usually. Might go out to dinner then come home and watch a movie. To us celebrating New Year Eve is not a big deal anymore. Been there, done that with the dances, parties etc.My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

Party on sunday...recover on monday...fly home on tuesday. Its the most inane and pointless holiday of the year, and yet it always turns out to be the most fun.

No big plans here.. I find New Years to usually be a let down.... So going forward I think I will just spend the night relaxing..

Well we have decided to head off and stay at the Royal York in Toronto. Should be fun. Dinner in Benny Hana's followed by a buffet lunch with our kids in the hotel on the 1st. We are hoping to go skating and such at Nathan Philips square to work off the excess food, and no-one will have to drive. Happy now!

My options seem to be down to sitting around my place with a few people playing 360 and drinking Crown or heading off to a $10 kegger. I don't really see a downside to either of these, except the possibility of going downtown and spending way too long trying to get into a bar.

Start out at a house party, hit up a bar on Rideau to see a friend's band play then back to the afterparty until most likely eight or nine the next morning!! Red Bull is my good friend!!!

I'm a dad of a young one, can't get a sitter. So, I'm roasting a duck, gonna open a lovely bottle of red, and toast the evening.
