This attitude is what en courages so many people to drink to excess, make their way through large crowds of strang ers at expensive gatherings, or in some way show others that, yes, they are indeed having the expected fun on New Year’s Eve. The reality is that most people spend quiet evenings at home with family and friends and don’t even see the clock strike midnight since it is past normal bedtime. Here are some suggestions to help you enjoy a special New Year’s Eve at home. • Set the clocks ahead if midnight seems to take forever to arrive and kids are tired. Set your clocks ahead one, two or even three hours so everyone can enjoy, celebrate, blow horns, bang pots and pans, and then get to bed at a reasonable hour so the next day is also enjoyable. • Make a special non-alco holic punch for everyone includ ing the children to enjoy, use special glasses to add to the at mosphere.
