What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
You’re older. You’re not dead. It’s creeping up on New Year’s Eve. In the past you were all over planning, scheming and figuring out just how to ring in the new year with fun, friends and style (ok, not always style). But now, you’re a parent. Your kids are school-age and you live in suburbia. Again, you’re not dead!
What will you do New Year’s Eve?
Here in Glen Rock, the options are likely not that plentiful though if you stretch a bit, you can find a good night out.
First, there’s the fun run scheduled for 11:45pm on December 31st at “The Rock.” Why not eschew traditional activities, put on your Nike’s and get outside in the freezing cold to run a long distance? Ummm…..ok, next option.
I can only assume the Glen Rock Inn is planning some NYE activities and then there’s always the community, friends/family party idea. Get a bunch of your friends together, bring the kids, hire the older kids to watch the younger kids but keep them all under one roof and then spend time with other adults who, like you, would like to live it up but are constrained with the same responsibilities you have.
Finally, there’s the romantic night “in” with your special someone. The kids go to bed early (and even the elementary school ones who swear they’ll make it to midnight often crash by 10pm). As soon as that happens, break out the champagne, delicious cheese (from the Fairway – because that’s where the good cheese is “at”) and spend some time in front of the tube or, better yet, a roaring fire (if you’ve got that option) and enjoy quality, quiet one-on-one time with the person who’s made this year special for you.
So, what else is going on in Glen Rock this New Year’s Eve? What are you planning? Can we come? Tell us in the comments.
