What is your usual plan for this evening? Our family has a tradition of inviting a few families over, eating hors d'oeurves and snacks all night, watching the fireworks over Lake Michigan (on TV, of course; we're not in the income bracket to own lakeshore property and we're not driving downtown with all the loonies) and then the kids all go outside and play Army while the adults have another glass of wine. Not your rootin'-tootin' New Years' Eve, but it works for us.
One essential part of the evening is the movie. One year we had a Lord of the Rings marathon; MSP was young enough to insist on elf and hobbit food. We found some good stuff online. One year it was Star Trek. This year it will probably be this series
What would you watch?
It might be fun to celebrate the new year twice; once for local time, and once for Iraq time. That would be 6 1/2 hours from now (8:20am local time.) Have to remember that!
