Moms Talk POLL: Will You Stay Up for New Year's 2012?

During our younger years, we made late dinner reservations and stayed out until the wee hours of the morning.

As we got older, we started spending the evening in, with an intimate dinner, a good movie, a bottle of champagne and a "Happy New Year!" at the stroke of midnight.

When the kids were babies, we'd hope the noise outside didn't wake them. And when they got a little older, we'd let them stay up until 9 or 10 o'clock for our own family "Happy New Year" yelling and confetti, funny hats and cranking noise-makers.

Now, we're just happy if we can stay awake until midnight.
