Kids are closest to a parent's heart on New Year eve. And obviously, sweet home is the venue for the celebrations. Here are some suggestions for making the most of the opportunity.

1. Start a New Year tradition now, when your kids are in an impressionable age. Let New Year be a time for festivities and exchange of love.

2. What to do in the night? If you are not up for big entertainment, let your fun be totally kid-focused. Invite couples with kids belonging to the age group of your children.

3. Let the food theme be Dutch where everyone contributes dishes to avoid extra strain on any one kitchen.

4. Consider turning on the stereo and dancing to rock music, playing games, watching videos and building a barbecue to roast some chicken.

5. Children don't feel comfortable when in the company of inebriated and over drunk adults. So draw a line for yourself. You may enjoy drinks, but with grace and decency.
