Growing up in the 90's, I had my tradition for New Year's Eve. Starting in 1996 my parents would go to First Night Akron and I would spend the evening with my grandparents. The three of us would go to a movie, then run through a drive thru for dinner and take it back to their house.

We'd then turn on the TV and watch episodes of "Supermarket Sweep" and "Shop Til You Drop" they had taped. Then, maybe another short movie. In between we'd check in with the networks on their coverage in New York. I would float in and out on the couch...I couldn't make it awake all night back then (frankly I doubt my grandparents did either haha). I usually would wake up about 11:00 or 11:30 and watch the ball drop in New York with my grandparents.

After a little bit, my parents would stop by and pick me up and I'd go home. I enjoyed those evenings very much.

Now that I'm an adult, I have no traditions. I'll get dinner with my mom or some friends, and likely spend the evening falling asleep on the couch. Likely miss the ball drop, and continue napping. Happy New Year!!!
