Don't let the children feel left out as you let all that champagne flow during your New Year's Eve party.

No, silly, I am not saying that you should give your children alcohol!

Instead, you can prepare fun drinks -- not just your usual soda and juices, mind you -- so the kiddies present would also have something pretty to drink which they can put in tall glasses and decorate with fruits or umbrellas on the side.

Non-alcoholic but fun drinks like...
