What about a New Years Eve Noon Party? I'm serious and not trying to be funny. Let's face it, as we grow older we need to adapt to the changes. It doesn't mean we can't have fun and celebrate!

Very good idea....as far as starting it EARLIER.....noon is good.
Morning is better yet. We're up at 4 a.m.
Once our kids were "raised" we used to host an annual New Years Eve get together in our house. (Prior to that, we'd just all stay up as a family and have snacks in front of the fireplace......but usually fell asleep before midnight.)
Our annual N.Y.'s Eve party was fun.......we'd all go out to eat at a Japanese restaurant early and then return to our house for various appetizers, dessert, etc. champagne......or other years I would lay out a full buffet and we'd skip going out to dinner.
It was fun in our 40's and then we noticed in our 50's (as some were approaching 60) they'd start to nod off and couldn't even wait for "Guy Lombardo Long Deceased" or midnight to arrive. Our neighborhood had grown older from the young twenty something parents along with the surrogate grandparent neighbors......so we'd be mid 40's to 70s......
It got worse every year. Even with taking naps..........no one could stay awake.
The earlier years when everyone was younger were the best.
I think as you age, you begin to rise and shine earlier and thus need to get some zzzzzzzz's earlier. We're just not night owls.
I wonder often "who it really is" that stays up dancing all night long and frequents those bars in the squares. Can't be the majority.
So, if we ever get there we can host a "morning" or "noon" celebration.
No problem.
