or another sibling) have stayed home, made Pizza Fritta, banged pots and pans at midnight and basically stayed near the animals until the fireworks/gun salutes ended.

This year is kind of sad, because I can't afford to go get him and his car is not running. One of his older brothers may bring him here for me. I am really hoping that works out. A few weeks ago he told me how much he was looking forward to our tradition.

My best friend and her boyfriend (my bandmate) invited me for New Years last night, and I may have to break tradition and go out to their cabin in the woods. I just hate driving on New Years with all the amateurs.

New Years Day is more Pizza Fritta and the traditional Italian lentil soup (kale for the youngest.)

Nice to hear about everyone's traditions. Thanks for the thread, kp
