People who are born on 31st December or on 1st January have the advantage of celebrating the New Year's Eve and their birthday together, thereby saving some bucks. Lucky ones, hehe. Jokes apart, I would suggest anyone whose birthday falls on the last week of December would better postpone the celebrations for few days and club the New year party and birthday party to have a blast on the New Year Eve celebration. Here are some birthday party ideas to be celebrated on the last day of the calender:-Decorations
If you are going to have the party at home, then decorate the home with streamers, balloons with the noisemakers and hats. Fill the balloons with some noisemakers and tie them in such a way that even kids' can reach them to make the noises at the stroke of midnight. Make New Year noisemakers at home by filling the plastic film canisters halfway with corn kernels and decorate with shiny stickers. Make a hole at the canister's cap and put a thread and hung them.

Birthday food recipes
On birthday, birthday cake is inevitable. In the other menus, there can be Italian meatballs, apple pie, baked ham, Deviled Egg boats along with cookies and chocolates. If there are children present in the party, then do the toasting with something non- alcoholic drinks like hot spiced cider or any colorful cocktails suitable for kids.
Birthday party activities
Since it is the New Year's Eve, arrange for some activities that will go with the mood of the celebration. One of the common activity of New Year party is to writing of letter telling one's aims and wishes for the coming year and then keeping them in a safe place without lettting anyone to read it. On the next New Year's Eve, the letters will be opened and it will continue as a cycle. Or there can be batting of balloons but there is a catch. Guests have to be in pairs with their one hand locked with each other and they have to volley the balloon with one hand. The pair that does it longer will be the winner. Or other funny games can be done like memory gift exchange or writing of resolutions on sheets of paper separately and then mixing them randomly someone reads it aloud asking the guests who made what resolution.
So, start the countdown for the New year 2008 and enjoy double celebration on this New Year eve
