The first day of the new year will be spent drinking lots of fluid, lying in bed and perhaps meandering to the couch to watch TV. For sports fans, January 1st is a day of college football, snacks and friendship.
For go-getters and agenda-setters, January 1st is a fresh start and the perfect day to start on those New Years resolutions. If your family is in town, you may be looking for activities to share with your relatives.
There are many New Year's Day activities for families to enjoy. If you live in a winter wonderland, you can bundle up and go ice skating, snow shoeing or cross-country skiing on January 1st, following up your chilly activity with a nice hot cocoa or coffee.
If braving the elements just isn't your thing, then why not start a family New Years tradition of bowling and feasting on pizza? This can be a great open invitation to all your cousins, siblings, in-laws, aunts and uncles too. Many families also enjoy going to an afternoon matinee the day after a rowdy New Year's Eve.
You can also combine this with a nice dinner out somewhere, but be sure to make reservations, buy your movie tickets in advance and arrive early to avoid all the hassle of a popular idea.
Many people like to use New Year's Day to turn a new leaf. Some like to gather their friends together and volunteer. Perhaps they'll serve food at a local soup kitchen, walk dogs at a nearby animal shelter or visit residents in nursing homes.
You may also volunteer a show of support for our troops by creating care packages for those brave soldiers who spent their holiday in Iraq and Afghanistan. A good place to look for opportunities near you is www.ivolunteer.org.
