5 Ways To Enjoy New Year’s Eve At Home

December 21, 2020 · In: Winter

Learn five ways to skip the cold, crowds, and craziness and celebrate New Year’s Eve at home instead. Written by Brad Gandy

Happy New Year! Let’s freeze our disco balls off, call a cab because we drank more tequila than a Costco stocks, and watch confetti fall from the sky while we re-learn how to count and kiss after all that booze. Wait, that doesn’t sound good to you? Me neither.

Now, look, if that is your idea of the perfect December 31st, by all means, go for it safely, especially if your town knows how to celebrate. But that’s not for everybody, and you can still ring in the new year in style. You don’t even have to put on real pants with these 5 ideas to celebrate New Year’s Eve at home.

1. Binge Watch A TV Series

Prefer The Big Bang Theory over the Big Apple? Send the year off right with whichever group of couch buddies puts you in your happy place, whether that’s a sitcom, reality show, or live sports. If there is ever a night to stay glued to the TV with your beverage of choice, it’s this one.

2. Pick Twelve Songs For Your Playlist Of The Year

Which pop star makes you dance like no one’s watching? Which rock standard makes your passengers jealous of your dulcet voice in the car? And do you even remember what came out last February? Whether you want to relive or refresh, a playlist is a must for a relaxing evening.

I use Spotify for mine, and if you’ve done this before, it’s completely OK to add that Spice Girls song from the last 25 lists. If you want to get creative and go in order by month, a quick search for “songs [insert month and year]” gives a list of releases.

3. Start Exercising At 11:45

Then eat ice cream at midnight to celebrate your brand new cheat day. Can’t make it till 12? Ask Alexa to set a timer for 15 minutes, and start this tasty, well-deserved tradition anytime.

4. Create A Time Capsule

Fill a box with as many cheap (under $10) but time-appropriate items as you can find, and hide it somewhere on your property. Then, set a date to reopen the capsule (I’d recommend at least two years, unless you plan on moving soon) to trigger the nostalgia.

For an outside-the-box alternative, strike a pose for a selfie or family photo. Then, set a reminder on your phone to do it again next year. Eventually, it’ll become a tradition, and you can turn those photos into a calendar for yourself or a loved one.

5. Learn The Right Way To Write Resolutions

If you’re like me, you write resolutions because it’s an easy thing to do, and then you ditch them in January, because that’s an even easier thing to do.

There is a way to stick to them, and it’s called a planner. Not one that you bought at Staples to fit in your purse, but one specifically designed to help give yourself some personalized real talk and craft real plans to crush the next 365 days.

I’m using it to write my resolutions this year, so of course, that means I’m offering the Organized-ish New Year’s Resolutions Binder Kit to you, too, so we’re both setting more realistic goals than ever. If you’re more of a habit fan than a resolution junkie, this post can help you build twenty new ones without resolutions. If year-long goals seem unattainable, try 90-day goals instead.

Always Count Down On The Couch?

Comment below with how you celebrate New Year’s Eve at home. We love hearing what worked and didn’t work to make any year memorable for you.

Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to wo Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to work this well the first time I did it but now I’ll never dust baseboards any other way.
It also works well on door panels, picture frame moulding, chair rails, and even gets those hairs off back of the toilet that tend to stick and slide around when cleaning. 🙌🏼

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.
