Due to the general use of fireworks, more fires occur on New Year’s Eve than on any other day of the year in Norway. Accordingly, most Norwegian cities, and many towns, host a large, public fireworks display in order to discourage private use of fireworks in built-up areas.

Now that the chaos has died down, use the first day of the year to spend serving others alongside your sweetheart. That first date must have been magical for a reason, right? After all, it brought the two of you to where you are now. Why not relive the magic and butterflies that started it all. Go to the same restaurant or movie theater, or even incorporate elements such as a meal or a bottle of wine you shared together to recreate something similar at home.

The best way to ring in a new year is with a delicious dinner. Instead of going out to a local spot, whip up something at home.

You can find a ton of games like Scattegories, Bingo, and Family Feud on Etsy.
