We usually go out to a nice restaurant on NYE, but this year everyone opted to stay in for some reason, so I made a nice restaurant quality dinner for myself. I made scallops with risotto and sautéed spinach and kale topped with browned butter. Wasn't cheap but it was very good. Got enough to make it again tomorrow or Sat.
So how will YOU eat your good luck sauerkraut at the stroke of midnight?

Had a Subway sandwich and tea, at work. I was taking a short snooze-break through the midnight stroke ... it's a long night for end-of-week and end-of-month.

Lol, I guess I was a little unclear. Sorry about that.
2016 is the year I plan to put the last of old ghosts to final rest and clean out the garbage they left. 2016 is also the year I plan to buy a unit in the building where I'm now renting.
My goal is to celebrate Christmas 2016 and New Year's 2017 in my own place that I own and to have the time and energy to do it right, cooking some of my grandmother's recipes.
Is that a bit less befuddling?

No special tradition. I honestly am not even sure that my family ever did much for New Year's. I have a vague memory of cheap champagne one year. But I can't honestly remember a special dinner. Although it's possible that nothing sticks to mind after 20-some years. Then, again, it's also very possible that by New Year's Eve, my mother had become budget conscious.
Someone else told me of an interesting tradition she has: steak and crab. What makes it interesting is that it goes back 40 years. She was shopping at a budget grocery store. So budget that they actually had the customers write the prices on the things they were buying! (My parents shopped at a store like that. This is, of course, before scanner systems were so common.) And she found $20 on her way out. No one claimed it, so she decided to treat herself to crab. And thus began a tradition.
