I used to party at least somewhat. Or rather it was more like family parties. No family here other than husband now and both of us are lucky if we can stay awake until midnight.
I am continuing with my family tradition of watching "Dinner for One" (The 90's birthday). Virtually unknown here in the US but I am lucky to have found a youtube of it. I watch every year on new years eve. It was tradition back in Germany. The other thing I can't continue as I can't find the supplies is lead melting. We would get chunks of lead or tin, melt them down and then into water. Then we would "read" the result.
I also miss the yearly fondue. It was also what we did on New Years eve. Perfect to wait out til midnight as fondue takes forever.
But since its so crappy out, I will make wurschtgulasch, open a nice wine, watch Dinner for One and then wait til midnight and catch some fireworks far far away from our apartment balcony
I cannot drink champagne anymore. Used to like it just fine. I can't even get it down anymore. So wine it is. Which I never had any issues getting down.
