I love celebrations and New Years is one of those special times, but I always seem to be overwhelmed by it. The events seem to be overpriced, which usually leads to high expectations, which leads to my disappointment. I also have a lot of plans for 2009 and don’t want to stay up too late so that I won’t be able to start the New Year off right! Therefore, I have come up with some ideas for my New Year that don’t cost too much and allow me the opportunity to start the New Year with an early start.
-Movie Night: Staying in to watch movies and banging pots and pans at midnight is an easy and fun way to bring family and friends together.
-Favorite Restaurant: Pictured here is my favorite restaurant in the bay area for special occasions, La Foret. I am contemplating going here for a relaxing meal to celebrate. The food practically melts in your mouth and the ambiance is exceptional.
-Watch the Sunset: The setting sun is a great symbol of the day’s end and in this case it will be the final sunset of 2008. This is a great way to relax and reflect on the year passing and set goals for the year to come.
-Lounge Music: Listening to music is a great way to relax and wind down the night, but still be doing something celebratory.
What about you? What are you planning to do to ring in the New Year? Fill us in!
