The year was quite a ride, some had a fantastic time while others could have had better times. Here are a few ideas on making the most of the last day of the year.
1. Cook up a storm
We all love good food and this is an opportunity to spend quality time with friends or family indoors before you wave goodbye to the old year, considering that going out on New Year’s Eve may be more expensive, this is a good excuse to splurge a little.
TRY ONE OF THESE EASY RECIPES:
- RECIPE: Stay healthy with delicious pasta salad
- RECIPE: Warm taste buds with cheesy butternut and corn dish
- Tantalise your taste buds with a delicious milk tart
2. Have a house party
Invite your friends, neighbours and colleagues over to your house for a countdown party. Ensure responsible drinking and be considerate if you play loud music. Have enough supplies to make the occasion exciting, noisemakers, confetti, and funny hats.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
3. Watch movies
If you’re not a very social character, you might have hours of videos. Spend the last evening of the year watching a nice movie. Don’t forget the popcorn.
YOU’LL DEFINITELY NEED THIS:
4. Party the night away
Night clubs are packed with people who are looking to have a good time, why not join them. If you never hit the dance floor all year, now is your chance to do so, if your year was that bad at least end it with a band in a night club.
5. Give someone a kiss
When the clock strikes midnight, give your partner a kiss.
