It is New Years. I never really have big new years plans, and this year I am hiding in my bedroom, spending time with "me, myself, and all the alters" as I sometiems think of us.

We had wanted to do something just for us, so that all of us could enjoy New Years, in a special, safe, kid and adult friendly way. It might have gone well, but for me not being comfortable where I'm living. Thankfully I will be moving in a month to a completely self contained bachelor (plus storage). I'd like to plan a really fun night for all of us, where we can just have fun and be ourselves. A night where I have activities planned that we all enjoy, and food that we all like. I feel a little silly doing this, however, for some reason. Not sure why because no one will be there but me, and my younger parts, especially will love it.

My youngest wanted peanuts for tonight (I think they were party food when we were little), and was so upset when we got home today and I'd forgotten to get some. I gave her the option of going then to get them but we were all so tired and overwhelmed, shopping would have been too difficult.

So I'd like to plan ahead, choose a date, make an actual grocery list and activity plan, and do this once we move.

So back to my title question: has anyone done something like this before? What were the reactions of any alters who came, and how did you feel? Things to think about ahead of time?

I thought I'd check with others who live the life before I bring it up with any of my professional supports....or real life supports either...

Thanks, and happy new year!
