wow -- for some reason i never &quot;noticed&quot; this post.<br />
<br />
to start with i will hopefully also stay home for new years (unless the crazies are out as we own a wrecker service).  i try and stay up til midnight but hard to do.  eddie (my 10 yr old son) has yet to ask for fireworks but still have a few days.  we live in the &quot;country&quot; (no really close neighbors and our road ends about 1/2 past our house) so we pop fireworks in the middle of the street.  we usually have family over for a &quot;small&quot; party depending on weather.<br />
<br />

<br />
have a great day.
