It didn’t ever occur to me that some people wouldn’t feel it is appropriate to do the games-and-sprite Mormon NYE get-together.

That’s what we did, with three other LDS couples. I had the most social NYE we’ve had in years. Then again, quite a bit of Diet Coke was consumed, so I guess that’s a sign right there that we were living on the fringes of polite Mormon society.

We had four other families over (along with several teens their teens invited) and played games and ate. I was kind of surprised, since my husband is the resident Sunday Nazi, but he was all for continuing the tradition. Alas, when July 4 fell on a Sunday last year, he wasn’t so accomodating, and we cancelled our traditional neighborhood bash.

Though with everyone having small children, we were the last to leave at 11 PM.

Boards games and Nintendo Wii along with too much junk food.

Eating buttered popcorn and watching TV. The high life.

we’re boring. before i realized it was new year’s eve, i’d planned a picnic at the temple for me and my girls to see the last sunday of lights. the husband works sundays (he’s a cop) and we always take him sunday dinners, but we’ve promised to not do either the dinner or the picnic because, as susan said, new year’s eve in la isn’t exactly the time to be cavorting about.

no cable, no internet. crap. guess we’ll do puzzles and pick our noses all night.

I’ll be doing what I do every New Year’s Eve: getting together with extended family and eating jalapeno poppers and playing board games. We’ll probably drink sparkling cider at midnight. The advantage to having it on Sunday is that nobody will be bugging me as to why I’m skipping the YSA dance.
