Atlanta New Year’s Eve: what are your plans?
The Johnstown High School marching band from Johnstown, Ohio marches in the Chick-fil-A Bowl Parade on Thursday afternoon. AJC/Elissa Eubanks
Peach Drop family activities have been running downtown all day, and music will start in a few hours.
The Chick-fil-A Bowl Parade finished up a little while ago, and the bowl game will start in a few hours.
Offices are emptying as people head home to prepare for parties.

Me and the hubby are staying in tonight. We are going to watch the festivities on TV to bring in 2010 and eat some good food. Have a great 2010 everyone!

With the family, usually we watch the Peach Drop on one of the local news stations…doesn’t look like it’ll be happening this year since it doesnt look like any of them is broadcasting the local peach drop…they’d much rather show the drops of other major cities.

I celebrated at ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH NORTH and brought in the New Year on my knees, praying that 2010 has great things in store for not only me but America as a whole! Happy New Year folks!!

I celebrated by going to bed at 9 p.m., then awakening to the sounds of thousands of firecrackers.

My Husband and I stayed at home, but we dressed as thought we were going out to party. I had (3) glasses of wine, he does not drink. We had party favors and fireworks and watched everyone celebrate on T V and took pictures of ourselves……We had a good time!!!

a fire, wine, and a delicious homemade pasta dinner watching the festivities in HD sure beats the heck out of being out in the cold and navigating to avoid a dui.

I love this! We stayed home till about 10:30 p.m., then biked over to a party/parade/fireworks display nearby. It was ridiculous and magical in just the right way. Happy new year, everybody!

See that picture up top? I’m about 3 rows back and to the right with a silver trumpet. We had a blast, and I hope to personally come back to Atlanta very soon!
