I remember every New Year’s Eve my parents would go to a party. The next morning, at everyone’s place at the table, would be a hat and some kind of horn or blower. My parents always took as many from the party (with permission) as they could so us kids could have them! Of course we couldn’t blow on the horns until after they woke up, but us kids would have a noon-time New Year’s party!
As a High School student, our Senior class fundraiser was a New Year Eve party for under 10s. We rented(signed out) the gym and cafeteria, 3 VCR s and TV’s, and all of the athletic equipment. More than 200 kids, at $20 per, brought sleeping bags and PHD. From 7 PM until 10PM, complete chaos. Basketball, volleyball, softball, tag, wrestling, you name it, they were burning energy.
At 10, we started slowing them down, turning on the TV’s. One room had monsters (Frankenstein, Dracula), the next had Disney. The third had TV shows (some kids have no taste). Popcorn and sodas/punch all night long. Midnight we watched the ball drop.
Morning we fixed pancakes and watched the Rose Parade. Parents had until 11AM to pick up the rugrats, and could get breakfast if they came early.

And Elly is going to give the horns and whistles to the adults after the kids have blown on them. Oh, well, they’ll never know.
