New Year's 2024
- Thread starter wentwood

Saw the London firework display on TV and popped a party popper to greet the arrive of the new year, and then a few hours later, celeberated my Birthday, which went far better than Christmas as I'm mostly over the bug that left me in bed for most of Christmas day & Boxing day, watched a bunch of videos from youtube through out the day, had a turkey dinner with my parents, thou it wasn't at a table together, they had trays on their laps and I used a small table, not a fan of trays when it comes to major meals, prefer to have a table so that its easier to grab one's drink! That was pretty much my New year and it included Birthday cake, which is nice, take my time with the remains of the cake, thou a slice will likely go to my nephew tomorow/later, when we have him round after school, as kids went back yesterday (Tuesday), thus begins the long slog to next Chirstmas, thou honestly, the last couple of years have all felt like one massive year full of stupidy that finally reached its peek and now the piper is playing and those taking loans from Karama are finally having to pay their dues!!
I slept.
my 4 and 6 yr olds tried to stay up. 4yr old passed out around 11:30 but my son pushed through. We went outside at midnight and lit some sparklers and watched the neighbords fireworks. Next day the family loaded up and went to a state park. My wife and daughter hung out by the playground area while my son and I went for a mountain bike ride. We have Mario Wonder and have been playing that as a foursome, its been entertaining to say the least. So far the year is off to a good start.
There is a trick for young kids in regards to New Year, at that age, they aren't paying close attention to the time and if you got a recording of the fireworks, then if you move the clocks that are visual forwards on purpose, you can fool them into thinking its really midnight, I know my neighbour did that with their kids once a couple of years ago
Ive heard of parents in California watching the New York ball drop and telling the kids it was New Years.
I was gonna be up anyway playing some Call of Duty. I didnt really expect either to stay up as long as they did.
