1.       Plan Games
•Make light of New Year’s resolutions by turning them into a guessing game. Give partygoers cards and have guests finish the sentences with hopeful wishes―or tongue-in-cheek witticisms. Gather the cards, read them aloud randomly, and then let the gang try to figure out who wrote what.
•Print cards with these fill-in-the-blanks: "The bad habit I want to kick this year is ―――." "The good deed I want to do this year is ―――." "The person I want to be more like this year is ―――." "The skill I want to learn this year is ―――."

2.       Pick Up the Provisions
•Snacks: Let guests nibble on hearty little bites, as well as tidbits from gourmet markets.
•Drinks: For a refreshing alternative to Champagne, try Prosecco or a nonalcoholic fizzy blend of fruit and herbal tea.
•Dessert: chocolate-bar-fondue with fruit and pound cake for dipping, in a fondue pot.
•Favors: Give guests parting gifts of good fortune. Pack up black-eyed peas (which bring good luck, according to southern tradition) in a box or cellophane bag and a recipe.

3.       Prepare Food
No need for an elaborate menu.

4.       Play Music
Celebrate the New Year with these 10 songs:
•"Fly Me to the Moon," Frank Sinatra
•"Golden Years," David Bowie
•"It Had to Be You," Harry Connick Jr.
•"Mas Que Nada," Sergio Mendes, featuring the Black Eyed Peas
•"Night Time Is the Right Time," Ray Charles
•"Put Your Records On," Corinne Bailey Rae
•"Rock Steady," Aretha Franklin
•"Save the Last Dance for Me," Michael Buble
