What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?

Our most enjoyable New Year’s Eve parties have been those we have had with our children. When they are old enough to stay up past midnight but too young to go it on their own or with friends, we celebrate New Year’s Eve at home. The week before, each person draws an assignment, then we spend days preparing for the party—cooking, planning games, making homemade noisemakers, and putting up streamers throughout the house. When the big night arrives, we dress up and then enjoy our party. It’s a lot of fun; but more important, it’s a lot of fun together! Ruth Dickson, Salt Lake City, Utah
