That's the oldest trick in the book! Invite the neighbors so they can't
complain about the noise!

I've never understood this logic. I used to have a neighbor who would
occasionally have a loud party (maybe once a year, but wow, was it LOUD).
It wasn't the human noise, it was the stereo. The first time it happened
I was on the phone to friends, begging for couch space.
I felt more like I couldn't complain because it was such an infrequent
occurrence and I had received advance warning, than because I had been
invited. If this had been an every-weekend event, I definitely would have
complained!
But Lesley, you have a good defense - your own party! So have a good
time and Happy New Year! (Which is not very far away for you.)

As I suspected from the early start they shut up pretty much by 10.30
I doubt any of them were awake to see the New Year in
