What are we doing New Year's Eve? Not much


What are you doing tonight? If you're staying home you won't be alone.

So says the folks at CivicScience, a polling and data gathering firm in Pittsburgh which polled a large sample of Americans over the weekend.

- Some 33% of us have no plans, with 38% of us staying home tonight. Only 3% are hosting a party. Fourteen percent of us will be attending a party.

- Will we be watching TV? Some 37% say they won't be, with 35% watching a variety of New Year's Eve shows.

- And the party pooping continues. Some 64% of those polled say they have no family gathering on New Year's Day.

- Watching the Tournament of Roses parade, then? At least 66% say no.

- College football bowl games fare little better with 55% saying they're not watching.

So maybe a New Year's resolution is in order tonight. Forty percent of those polled said no to resolutions. Of those 60% who said they would make one, some 16% admitted it would involve fitness, and 14% are changing their diet.
