The Evolution of My New Year's Eve

When I was younger, New Year's Eve was a time to play outside and eat a lot with friends. As I grew older, it was a holiday synonymous with alcohol. My friends and I would go to parties, stay up all night, and get blackout drunk. When I became a mom that all changed: it became a pretty sober event, spending time with kids, and making a bonfire. After Molly died we stopped celebrating and now that I have Jack we will have to decide what new traditions we want to create.     Key Takeaways:    [1:47] Finding patterns in time [2:47] Time stopped when Molly died   [4:11] Beginning anew in 2023 [5:36] How I spent New Year's Eve as a child  [7:47] Playing outside a ton of New Year's Eve  [9:07] Getting drunk in high school  [10:23] Staying up all night partying in college  [12:58] Running and getting drunk with my Nike friends  [14:36] Having New Year's Eve's that didn't involve alcohol  [15:21] My friend died on New Year's Eve [17:10] Going to a party and getting drunk with Kenny  [18:16] Making a choice to not go out and party with Kenny  [19:15] Not celebrating the holiday after Molly died  [22:40] Doing a campfire for our children when they were little   [23:34] What Season 7 will be about    Resources:   Groundhog's Day New Year's Eve Movie Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
