**This hop has ended.** *Winner of my giveaway was Tammy Ramey* Happy 2012! I hope this year is full of everything you want it to be. Before I give you all the details to this awesome giveaway, I'm going to share a memory with you from a New Years I've had. Don't worry, I'll make it quick. My favorite New Years is actually one from a year, maybe two ago. Geesh, I can't remember. We let both the kids stay up with us. My husband is from an Italian family, so we made lentil soup and ate it with money in our pocket for good luck. This is something his family has always done and we continue to do it. We watched several movies with the kids and finally got to watch the ball drop. Now I just painted a nice rosie picture to the evening. When in truth, my husband and I ate the soup, the kids complained. And by 10:30 my kids were so cranky I was ready to turn in, but they begged to stay up and they did. Right after the ball dropped, I loaded them into bed and crawled into mine with my husband. However, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I enjoyed letting them stay up and experience it, that way I have the rose colored glasses story to tell. So, onto the giveaway. I am part of the New Years Blog Hop, so that means you get to comment on my blog and all the others one time on each blog. So I think that is 65 blogs. And what are those two grand prizes? 1. Kindle Fire! 2. (another winner) An $80 Amazon Gift Card Two awesome prizes for two very lucky commenters! And since you stopped by, I am also offering to one lucky commenter on my blog their choice of either of my book, Amber's Muse or Fool Me Once (each in ebook format). So be sure to leave your email so I can contact you if your the winner. **Both books are available now for purchase. Amber's Muse is currently on sale for $1.99!* Good luck!

I hadn't heard of the Itlaian custom of lentil soup on New Year's. I thought they banged pots and pans at midnight to scare away bad spirits. It probably various from region to region.

Food is always good on New Year's. I now appreciate lentils but thought they were icky when I had to eat them as a child.

I love spending the evening at home with my kids, safely inside my own home. I end the year with them, and begin anew. It always amazes me to think of the promise of a new year :) richnkathy718 (at) msn (dot) com

We all hang out, each munchies and watch movies. The kids usually don't stay up til midnight, but since we're on the west coast, we can watch the ball drop at 9pm. That helps....then of course, usually the fireworks wake them up. This year they both said, 'ok, that's enough booms people.' Cracked hubby and I up!

Haha! Love the memory! So true, isn't it? The kids look forward to staying up, but it's so hard on them (and us), and yet it really is a fond memory, once we get past it =)

I have spent every NYE with my family, we just sit around, playing games, eat snacks, watch the countdown on tv, maybe not memorable, but good times all the same! :) 1/4/2012 06:35:18 am
Thanks for sharing your New Years Eve with us - even if it was with rose colored glasses on!

I don't really have a favorite NYE story. I do spend mine with family, at home watching either movies or TV. This year it was a zombie marathon with my sister and 2 of her kids.

I usually have great time at new year's eve, and I remember of my best one: it was when I stayed up with my first boyfriend who kissed my for the very first time at midnight :) It's a nice memory :)

We also spend our New Years with the kids. Usually playing games. Over the past couple of years we have started adding friends to the mix, and it really is a great time. The only defference now is some of the older ones have their own parties to attend. Brings me back to my younger days!

Sounds like all those times my mom let me and my sister stay up with her and my dad. They're good memories anyway :) The kids will always think so too. Both books sound really good but I think Fool Me Once intrigues me more.

My favorite NYE memory was my first one in Chicago. The fireworks downtown were gorgeous especially when they were reflected in Lake Michigan.

Well my birthdays New Years eve so I could tell tons of stories from that! LOL But one of my most memorable would probably have to be last year just for how funny it was. My friend was 9months pregnant. Due any time and she decided that she wanted to play 'Just Dance' on my wii. So she seriously got into it. It was insane watching her dance with her big belly. I have it on video. Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. :) Thanks!

I spend all of my New Years Eve with family, have for over a decade now, and they are fun. We eat a nice meal, have great appetizers for later in the evening, play games or watch a movie and then toast in the New Year. It's harder for the little kids to stay up so if they get tired...off to bed they go. Thanks for the giveaway

I don't have a favorite memory. I usually spend NYE with family or one or two friends. We watch movies, eat and drink. Nice and quiet.

One of my fav New Year’s Eve was when I was in the Navy and me and my roommates invited about 100 people over and they all showed up and brought more guests. It was everything you can imagine it would of having that many sailors in one place. It wasn’t much longer after many of us shipped out to Iraq.

Every year, my best friend and her husband throw a massive NYE party. After almost everyone leaves, I sit around with some of my best friends, (we don't see each other nearly as much as we'd like to),and we just talk about the year just past, good memories -- it's just a wonderful way to celebrate, and we've made it an annual ritual.

I LOVED Amber's Muse...only wished it were LONGER! We usually spend the evening inside with family and friends, lots of good eats...playing cards (poker) and listening to music until the ball's about to drop. Then the wine is poured, toasts made, kisses shared...and then the party usually continues for a little while longer. Those that drank a little too much, or came without a designated driver snuggle in for the night...that's just how we play. Better safe than sorry. :) Happy 2012!

My favorite NYE memory is the one I spend with my now husband. We went out with my best friend and her (then) husband. It was horrible. They fought the whole night but at one point during all that craziness he leaned over and told me that he loved me.

My favorite New Year's memory is when I was around 7 year's old and my best friend and I stayed up through the New Year all the way up until around 4am. We were the happiest 7 year old's ever! Our parents were too wasted to even notice! lol

My favorite new years was when I had a fun and crazy party with friends last year, the champagne was literally flowing everywhere since one of my friends tried to make a champagne fountain but it turned into a river instead! My favorite memory.. well.. it’s not really a “memory,” but it’s a tradition that I still follow from back in my home country of Brazil. For New Years, the color of your clothing represents what you want for the new year. For example, many Brazilians wear white for peace and inner calm, but you see a few wearing red for passion or pink for love, some wear green in hopes of earning more that year as well. Every year i’m excited to see what colors people decide to wear on New Years, and I love getting together at the end of the year to see if their wishes came true.

One of my favorite NYE's was going to a party/concert and watching the fireworks at midnight. Loads of fun. 1/4/2012 03:20:32 pm
My best NYE - We had a party for our friends and family. We could see the high school fireworks from our backyard. We all had a great time being together. Almost all the food was gone and the drinks...well there weren't any left..lol Those who needed to spend the night found a piece of floor and blankets and we had breakfast the next morning...some not so much LOL
