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.
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.
