How to enjoy New Year's Eve

[smeg@feddit.uk]

Who goes to a busy location for NYE? It's the classic night for a house party!

Alternatively spend New Year’s Eve with friends in vrchat, drinking beer from your fridge, and having your bed only 20 feet away in the next room

A brilliant way to celebrate the biggest non-event of the year.

My wife and I are going to enjoy a magnum of prosecco and build some Lego sets.

9pm, that's like bed time!

I'm going to be watching the ball drop from 1999 and drinking some champagne

It can be worth it doing it at least once in your life if only to gain the perspective that it's an overrated experience.

One of the perks of aging is not caring about shit like this anymore. Tomorrow, I’ll wake up fully rested and able to take advantage of my day off by doing absolutely nothing. It’s more pleasurable when you’re awake to enjoy it.

I never experienced this. NYE is either family, house parties or raves where you mostly bring your own alcohol (and other things).

Oh, thanks for the reminder! I need to get a Lego set on the way home!

One year I went to New York City for new year's. We quickly figured out that trying to get into Times Square would be miserable, so we found a little bar with some live jazz. One of my favorite NYEs ever.

Imagine going to crowded places out of your own free will.

[thebrideworecrimson@sopuli.xyz]

Nobody goes these places anymore, it's too crowded.

Why April?

Romans started the year in March, this is why the names of September (7), October (8), November (9), and December (10) don't make sense in our calendar.

We went kayaking at noon, getting drunk while barbeque until 6, then passing out by 7. Middle age is awesome!

When I was a kid, we would watch it every year. No one ever told me that we were watching with a 3 hour delay on the West Coast and everyone "celebrating" in the video had gone home three hours earlier. It made New Year's feel like a big ass lie. Put two and two together on my own though when I was about 23.

There are lots of people at busy locations on NYE. That's why they're busy.
