Staying at home myself, but I think the trick is to enjoy the moments between those frames.

    If you don't enjoy the moments in those frames, don't go to some overcrowded place. There are no moments in between.

    A lot of people enjoy it. I can't understand them, so I stick to small crowds.

    Staying home has been the way for me for years. I fucking hate overcrowded bars.

    In my younger years I partied wild and even hosted parties with hundreds of guests (rented facilities).

    Since my 40s I stay at home and go to bed at 10 pm latest.

    The last time I went to a bar on New Year Eve, I paid 20 bucks to get in, bought my first drink and started goofy dancing to a song that came on the radio. Then I got thrown out for being intoxicated.

    Some people enjoy pay all of their money to play cards, too.

    And others pay money to gain cancer.

    Like imagine getting cancer treatment in a hospital and looking out the window and seeing someone smoking. Two people doing the exact opposite things.

    Some people pay money to enjoy their lives, and savour every moment, even if it means cutting the crap a little short.

    I don't smoke, as the risk/reward isn't worth it to me personally, but if it's what it takes for others to be happy, all the power to em. Knock themselves out. Literally heh.

    I'd rather live 50-60yrs to their fullest, than live 80-90 mediocre years inside watching the latest Netflix crap or tv repeats (not to say there aren't times when I enjoy it).

    Despite all the awfulness, it can be kinda nice to be amongst a lot of humans celebrating something.

    I mean, I'm not doing it, but it's not all bad.

    My admittedly boring method:

    • stay home

    • do stuff, maybe video games

    • go to sleep whenever I feel like it

    • wake up at the normal time

    I've found that, at least for me, I need to do social things, amazing things, and ceremony around it is also fine. Otherwise, I lose track of time and dark thoughts happen.

    I encourage all to celebrate holidays or special events as much as you can, while you can. Every morning you wake up and can see and hear and smell and taste and feel and think. And if you're short somewhere in that list, you probably already understand what I'm talking about. Life is short and a lot of people want yours to be shitty. Don't let them win.

    That being said, if you like playing videogames, don't let the people who don't appreciate that to make you feel like that isn't quality time.

    I'm so glad that my partner and I just stay in and enjoy each other's company with some drinks. Going out on NYE is absolutely god awful.

    I walked to the bar. Accepted a free pour of sparkling wine. Counted down to midnight. Sang Auld Lang Syne. Drank my free wine. Hugged some strangers. Threw $5 in the tip jar. Walked home watching fireworks.

    It's a pretty fun holiday if you do it like me.

    There comes a certain age where if someone invites you to a New Year's Eve party you're just furious with them.

    I think small party is fine. What I can't stand is counting down in a plaza.

    I'm working this year, but the wife lucked out hard. She got invited to a house party, then today her friend called and said everyone except the two people hosting are sick, so it'd just be the three of em.

    I made a tasty blueberry lavender cake, leek gratin with homemade bread and watched the stranger things finale. Ideally I’d go to sleep now but goddamn fireworks are scaring my dog.

    Always surprising to me that people still do this. It's always a scam and everyone goes home just slightly pissed off.

    I stayed home, not by choice. Got the unwelcome xmas gift of covid.

    I usually get myself so distracted by something that I don't even realize the new year has started until about 30 minutes past midnight. I didn't know why I bother stay up any more.

    I accidentally taught my 4 year old flip cup.

    They had a "noon-years eve" party which celebrated the new year at noon... then the adults went a step further

    I just sit by the windows and watch the local illegal fireworks shows.

  • I took two tabs of acid with 3 friends and laughed and danced my arse off for 8 hours at a music festival. It was a magic night. I'll grow up one day but not this year!

    I've never been out on new year's, I've always been in my home or a friend's or family member's. Oh, tell a lie, on the millennium I was at church.
