in reply to I plan to spend New Years Day:

I have two small boys. (9 months and 3 years) This morning, like every other morning they work my wife and I at 6am. Because of that, I decided to treat last night like any other evening.

Perhaps in about 10 years time, I will be able to party for new year again, but in the meantime, I am a parent, and that cramps my style for such things.
