LOL! I know what you mean. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I just don't really see the appeal anymore. :)
OTOH, the kids are usually out celebrating somewhere!
My kids are still too young for that, but I'm sure I'll be worried about them when they're out there. I'm dreading the teenage years. :)
My kids are in their mid to late 20's now, and fairly responsible people. I still worry on New Year's Eve, though. But not like I did when they were teenagers. I guess being a parent of teenagers is nearly as stressful as actually being a teenager ;-)
