Will you be doing anything for New Years Eve?

[MeghanSnarkle]

I find new years eve really triggering and I honestly don't know why, it started when I was little girl I just always ended up crying when the family would sing auld lang syne then bawl my eyes out when my grandad would go out the back door and in through the front to welcome in the new year I literally had no reason to be so upset but I couldn't help it, Even though I'll be glad see to see the back of 2022 i can already feel that I'm going have to bugger off up to bed before midnight and leave them to it because it just brings out the misery in me even now as an adult

At home with family , was obsessed with celebrating it in my twenties in clubs etc but now a club or west end is a nightmare thought to me on new years , quite like watching the fireworks on tv and a class of wine to see in the new year but that’s about it!

 

[shadowcat5]

Mine will just be at home watching the tv. I don’t really care for new year, January starts the 27th of December for me

 

[Some People!]

I'll be on my own, at home, knocking about in a very ordinary way.
I'm burned out, tired, and turned down the few non-awful options available. I'm looking forward to it!
I'll spend the day taking down and packing away the decorations and doing a bit of housework then in the evening I'll have a drink, eat the last of the garbage food, fill in my Year Compass and maybe get an early night

It does feel like it’s less of a “thing” these days whereas in the late 90s and early 00s it seemed there was more of a pub/club/party presence for New Years Eve. There were some fireworks last night and i think more people stay home now. When I looked out at 12:10AM there were hardly any house lights on. I’m glad there’s less pressure to party.

I’m a bit of a new years grinch, it’s just not something I have ever really enjoyed. I don’t like the pressure of having to do something because it’s new years although I think over the years that pressure has faded as more people seem to stay in.

We are going to cook a curry from scratch and then a night in front of the box. My 6 year old will probably go to bed at normal time as she doesn’t do late nights! I’m really going to try and stay awake until midnight because I usually go to bed and leave my husband downstairs on his own to see in the new year

it’s a weird one isn’t it? Cause I think people feel they need to do something special to mark it like a special occasion but also new year feels a bit like any other Saturday night with some fire works thrown in and tomorrow we’ll all just be thinking about how we’re going back to work in a few days.

 

[shadowcat5]

The rain hammering on my roof has made me extra glad I have no plans tonight

 

[ScorpioMoon]

We don't particularly enjoy it but we've booked a hotel to eat cheese and listen to 90s music before our baby arrives in january. A last hurrah if you will.

 

[Suzesnooze]

This is exactly how I feel and always have done. Nothing bad has ever happened to me or anyone I know on NYE either so I can’t explain why I feel do. Maybe its something to do with a fear of the unknown and what the future will hold?

I’m the same. I hate Jan/Feb. I don’t relax into a new year until about March as I start new year thinking ‘what will happen this year’ but only think of bad things. It’s got worse as I’ve got older.

 

[D2them]

I'm staying in myself with my 6 month old puppy. Would much rather be out but my friends don't seem to invite me to anything these days. Cheese coma incoming...

Had a rubbish year so nothing to celebrate - this year will just be me and my OH at home. Will cook a nice dinner, have a drink or two and chill. If I’m awake at midnight it will be a miracle

 

[Warpaint]

Over the years this seems to have become less of an event. I remember even 10 years ago a lot of pubs were virtually empty past 9 and everyone just went home or off to parties. And a lot of people answer now when I ask them is "Spending it at home with Jules" - but even that doesn't seem a big TV event like it once was.

I'm working NYD so it's an early night for me anyway

 

[chapterthree]

Go get nails done in the morning, then home, some work, head out to get fancy food both me and the family enjoy (fancy crisps, nice ready meal - drink of choice, stuff we wouldn’t usually get, the unhealthy bits). Into pjs, comfy clothes, tv on with Jules! Enjoying the last bits of Christmas. Just happy and filled. I love it. Nice and cozy!

 

[lilyannrose]

NYE/NY means absolutely nothing to me. I've never understood the fuss. I don't begrude people their fun but I hate the expectation that I'm supposed to be falling over myself in desperation to mark the day.

I like to go to bed early but then the fireworks wake me up, so will probably just watch TV or read like I usually do.

 

[Rodneytrotter]

I'll just go to bed probably. Hope the fireworks don't wake me up

 

[youRjokingHunz]

Working a night shift .. dealing with whatever the public decide to do
To themselves .. in a way I get to celebrate it.. just may be in unique circumstances

 

[Web30]

Im not sure who my husband thinks we are but hes said to me tonight "next year we should go to a house party"
No one in our family or friends throw house partys new years eve and i wont be throwing one here.

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Absolutely sweet FA. The same as the last few years. I don’t think I’ve celebrated it properly since about 2018. I don’t particularly like it much and find it quite a depressing, odd night anyway but I’ve not been well and have just finished my second course of antibiotics which have left me feeling as shitty as they always do. Been to a fair few parties over the years but the best ones have always been the quiet ones with just a handful of people.

I feel you! I get anxiety around this time of year because of the thought of a whole year of unknown is a bit scary for me. I think there is so much pressure on being 'better' and completing resolutions.

Were you over stimulated as a kid maybe? I had an epiphany the other day that the reason I get so much anxiety around christmas time is because christmas when I was a kid was so chaotic, we didn't have a second to breath. I just remember being so stressed and stimulated on christmas day and feeling all the adults' stress around me.
