Heheh. We live in a rural area, I guess the neighbors like to ho to bed early, so fireworks started at 6 pm. 😅
When we were kids, we were allowed to stay up ‘til midnight tho! We decorated the home, watched TV, played boardgames, at midnight we listened to and sang along with the National Anthem, drank [kids] champagne, watched the fireworks from our garden and then went to bed. 🙂

The funny thing in my country is, we celebrate new year twice, once at ~~8~~ 9 pm and again at midnight.
It’s because our lizard overlords in Denmark “own” our country (we are part of The Kingdom of Denmark NOT Denmark itself).

I would be down for that. But I have to drive my friends back from the party home. At least I am not the only one that does not drink.

Involving the little ones in anything they wouldn’t be able to is wholesome and the drawing very cute
Happy new year all

I work until 10 then I’m racing home with one roman candle to fire off in the back yard for my daughter who looks forward to this as much as Christmas. We have glowsticks, sparklers, noisemakers, and hats, then it’s off to bed at 1015. I can’t see my son being able to stay up that late, but maybe next year.

I remember once when I was little I was telling my parents I’m going to stay up till midnight. Well I fell asleep, but they made sure to wake me up 10 seconds before… to which I instantly fell back asleep

Australia has a full set of fireworks and celebrations at 9pm just for the kids, then the midnight one.

Netflix used to have themed countdowns for kids to watch so they could go to bed. The only one I remember for sure was a King Julien one. My kids just wanted to watch them all.

I’ve done this before. They never found out and were so proud and happy they got to stay up late ❤️

We moved from EST to PST a couple years ago so we have our 6 year old celebrate new years at 9pm so we can call my parents right away to wish them a Happy New Year. Works pretty well.

We went to a cabin in the woods on top of a mountain and watched the small fireworks people set off in the city down below. Exactly at midnight, a blanket of light covered the houses for a minute as people celebrated the new year with a bang.

We actually celebrated with the kids at 7 pm lol

I wish I’d done this. I stayed up till midnight with my daughter then had to get up for work at 630. I’ve been miserable all day. I am counting the minutes till bed time.

I was always allowed to stay up till midnight. For two reasons, I was a decent sleeper and it didn’t throw me off terribly I just slept in later the next day. Second my birthday is New Year’s Eve and my parents just made that a part of my birthday.

Yeah my city has a 9pm fireworks display and a midnight fireworks display. It’s a bit of extra noise, but it’s nice for all the kids (and parents) who aren’t old enough to stay up all night

Do kids these days not know how to tell time? We were allowed to stay till midnight anyway, but if we hadn’t been, this trick wouldn’t have worked at all.
