I love New Year's. I don't need to have a big party, but i do like to do something, becuase ringing in the new year alone seems a little upsetting. I heard somewhere that the way you spend your NYE is the way that you will spend the rest of the year... so i'm going to be on my best behaviour tomorrow night. Only some good, old-fashioned fun and games with friends.
There are so many things to watch on NYE - apart from people kissing at midnight and falling over when they try to climb into a taxi. In the USA, apparently people watch some kind of ball dropping? I assume it's a tradition thing that we aussies just don't understand. Here in good 'ol Adelaide, we just watch some fireworks down at the beach, if we're lucky. We make our own fun here! They even cancelled the city fireworks, because it was a health hazzard or something!
Hopefully, tomorrow night i'll manage to behave in a manner that i feel befitting of a good way to spend the new year. This will be the third year running that i've tried to do this... third time is a charm!
I think these eight off the top of my head (there are a few others floating around inside my head, but i'll keep those on the inside) will definately keep me busy... Actually, i think these are more or less the same kind of resolutions that i've had for the last few years - i'm definately thinking that the third year will be a charm.

I never even thought of 'watching' the new year's ball drop in time's square in NYC! Wow...here you are in Australia and I in America and you thought of our tradition. I'm totally embarrassed. LOL

It's a great time of year - a time for reflections, new hopes, dreams ...
If I were to make resolutions, my list would be very similar to yours.
Good luck to us both.
Sounds like a fine list of resolutions! Good luck!
If I could stay awake, I might watch the ball drop in New York ... if I could stay awake ;--)
Best wishes for the New Year. Lovely list of Resolutions!
Hugs and blessings,
