YouTube Thursdays - What are you Doing New Year's Eve

YouTube Thursdays - New Year's Eve 2020

 

 

We've always liked the song, "What are you doing New Year's Eve?" It's  been running through my (Debb) head all morning. Like most of 2020, this year's celebrations will likely be quite different. 

 

This is philosophical time of year under normal circumstances, and if my early communication from friends and family today is any indicator, New Year's Eve 2020 has made us even more thoughtful.

 

Nonetheless, being present and finding the joy in moments was, in our opinion, the finest tool of 2020. Breathing in appreciation and counting our blessings has  become second nature. It's the best way to get from surviving to thriving.

 

Mom is treating the family to take-out Chinese food tonight. It's an unofficial family tradition to eat take-out and watch funny movies. We'll have to see what we find on Netflix. 

 

Chances are, the only way we'll be up at midnight is if neighbors shoot off fireworks. Speaking of fireworks, here is a live stream of New Year's Eve 2020 celebrations from around the world.

 

 

As the New Year looms, our hearts are filled with the hope of better times on the horizon. Especially for those who have lost their businesses, jobs, family members, and/or friends. 

 

It is also our great hope that the division in our country will lessen and eventually heal. We are always better together. 

 

Goodbye to 2020, hello 2021. We wish you joy and abundance in the New Year.

Happy new year to you, Debb, and to Bernie. Hope this year brings you both the best of everything life can offer. And let's hope that very soon, 2020 will be a distant memory that doesn't color our lives and thoughts.

Hi Debb,
I like the New Years eve take-out tradition. I've been wanting Chinese food lately. Why didn't I think of that for last night?  I hope you and Bernie and your Mom and Finnegan all had a nice evening. I know many dogs hate fireworks. How did Finnegan do? 

I hope 2021 is a great year for you and your family... personally and professionally.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - What a fine tradition and the idea of take-out sounds perfect! I can't remember, is this Finneghans' first Christmas?

I just know you all had a love Christmas and enjoyed the holiday completely.

Carol Williams we took him out on the deck and showed him the lights from the booms. He was more curious than anything. At midnight, he slept through the flurry of bangs and booms. Lol.

Hi Debb and Bernie:

It was a bit different this year but we are typically home with a great dinner (and in past years with some family). Normally we aren't up til the magical hour but we were this year. It was interesting to reflect on this past year, and talk about the hopes for 2021!

Happy New Year 2021!

Jeff

Thanks all and Happy New Year.  I guess many of us rang in the New Year a little differently this year in attitude, but maybe the quiet celebration itself was pretty standard.

Chinese food on New Year's Eve...what a great idea that was. We had appetizers and watched the sad sight of NYC and no people.
