Definitely not my cup of tea! I just don't like peole all that much. LOL! And I HATE crowds.
There's a lot of New Year's Eve doin's in Eureka Springs tonight, but as far as I know, we're planning on staying in and having a nice, quiet dinner at home (mine)and catching up on the time I've been gone. I have faith that I can keep him up till midnight, though. 
Me, too!. I stopped doing "Big" crowded New Year's parties years ago. Now, I drop by a couple of parties at friend's homes, usually for about 30 minutes. Then each year, I/we end the evening at one home for a beautiful sit-down dinner. The same group of friends have been doing this for a while. The location rotates, so one person/couple only hosts the dinner once every 5 or 6 years.
