Come on. The focus of New Year's Eve is not traditionally the family. Christmas is.

"Come on. The focus of New Year's Eve is not traditionally the family. Christmas is."

So preferring to stay home with my husband and kids on new years eve makes me a non-traditionalist? Or we could look at it another way, I'm a mom and a wife and my family comes first. I don't like being out on the road with drunk drivers, I don't like hanging around drunks (new years eve tradition is getting drunk, right?). Ever been in a room with people drinking and you're the only sober one? I have health issues so I don't drink at all. My husband stopped drinking when we had children. Just our life choice.

I call it being a responsible grown up.

Some of us prefer to focus on our family every day.
