\nNew Year’s Eve is almost here and you are trying to decide what to do. Should you go out with the other revelers, don a party hat, sip champagne and ring in the New Year like a rock star OR should you put on PJs, drink wine, play board games and watch the rest of the world celebrate in front of the TV?<\/p>\n

Here are some good reasons to skip going out and for celebrating in your Canoga Park apartment<\/p>\n

1. No matter where you go, it will be crowded.<\/p>\n

Whether it is a First Night Celebration, a NYE party or a restaurant, you and well about 1\/2 of the U.S. adult population will be out celebrating.<\/p>\n

Your couch or apartment only has you, your pet, your friends, family or loved one. Not crowded at all<\/p>\n

2. Ringing in the New Year is expensive.<\/p>\n

Most bars and restaurants add a cover charge or a menu mark-up on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n

Don’t give in to the commercialism of this holiday. Pick up take out, make pizza and enjoy dinner in your own home.<\/p>\n

3. You have to dress up.<\/p>\n

If you go out you will have to try to fit in to that LBD or go purchase a new one. Put on a tie and suit coat and sparkle with the rest of the population.<\/p>\n

But if you stay home, you can wear PJs, sweat pants or jeans on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n

4. So many revelers and resolutions.<\/p>\n

Watch other get a bit tipsy or kiss a stranger at midnight. Bump in to others get a drink spilled on you.<\/p>\n

Or, watch others celebrate from your own living room:<\/p>\n

Watch Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. This year includes One Direction, Carrie Underwood, Walk the Moon, 5 Seconds of Summer, Fall Out Boy, Demi Lovato, Tove Lo, Luke Bryan and others.<\/p>\n

New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly will have guests Chrissy Teigen, Tony Bennet, Lady Gaga, Seth MacFarlane, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and what a coincidence, Gwen Stefani.<\/p>\n

Instead of going out this New Year’s – enjoy it at home! Happy New Year’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
