My dad and I are both sick as fuck (cold) so we stayed home, eat a lot of good food, drank kids champagne at midnight (no alcohol cause cold) while watching the fireworks outside, played Monopoly, listened to some music and danced, binge watched a shitty movie series (Fifty Shades: 3 movies - Grey, Darker, Freed). Same schedule today but 365 Days series instead of Fifty Shades. Good time. Wondering what you did.
Oh and gave a lot of money to the carolers who came over.

I’m too old for that shit, bruh.
By trying to play board games. I say try because…
I stayed home and played Carcassonne, Codenames, and Hey, Robot with my parents, sister, & her partner. Turned on the TV near midnight to watch the fireworks, only to be disappointed that the national broadcaster just replayed fireworks from another city in another time zone instead, so listened to the local fireworks off in the distance. I stumbled through Auld Lang Syne on the piano shortly afterwards, having done precisely zero practice and not even thinking of doing it until a few minutes beforehand. It sounded awful but was fun anyway.
This year, I didn’t do anything at all. I actually slept through it.
However in 2021, my mom almost burned the house down. She was very distracted with video calls while the fries are cooking, and then I suddenly noticed a bright orange glow in my window. She quickly tried putting it out and successfully pulled it off, albeit with a few second degree burns. If I didn’t see that glow, I wouldn’t even be here right now.
I went to bed at 10pm after cleaning my bathroom and putting away my clothes. I woke up 5 hours later with a cold. No regerts
Sounds pretty productive! Goon on you! Sucks about the cold tho.

Yeah new years was never a holiday for me. At my old workplace, we were open 24/7/365, so I was always happy to work on new years because of the holiday pay haha. It seems more like a thing if you go out and party. Nothing wrong with that! Just never something I did!
Invited a cousin and his family over to stay the night. Adults watched Equilizer 3. Kids ran around like crazy upstairs playing together till midnight. Then all slept in the next morning till 1030.
Glad the kids had fun too!
I took a bath until 10, then played Ōkami until 11:45, opened a beer, watched the fireworks and went to bed.
Went to a neighborhood party. No driving needed. Home by 10 and out cold by 10:30
A party within walking distance sounds pretty chill! One of the reasons I can’t relax at parties is because I can’t have much of anything to drink because I have to worry about driving!
Parties in general are like that for me. And then there are those special days like New Year’s Eve and St. Patricks Day when the police are more focused than ususal on possible drunk driving
That’s the benefit of living somewhere with public transit
